The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2023 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Red-billed Curassow Crax blumenbachii	EN	resident (2016–2019)	min 3 birds	A1
Golden-tailed Parrotlet Touit surdus	VU	resident (2016)	min 30 birds	A1
Scalloped Antbird Myrmoderus ruficauda	EN	resident (2019)	min 10 adults	A1
Bahia Tapaculo Eleoscytalopus psychopompus	EN	resident (2016–2020)	min 5 birds	A1
Yellow-faced Siskin Spinus yarrellii	VU	resident (2015)	min 60 birds	A1

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2023. The most recent assessment (2023) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	moderate (70–90%)	moderate (70–90%)	poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations)	very high
Residential and commercial development	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Some of area covered (10–49%)	A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not compre­hensive	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
