The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2004 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chestnut-bellied Partridge Arborophila javanica | LC | resident (1987–1998) | present | A2 |
| Green Peafowl Pavo muticus | EN | resident (1986) | 200 birds | A1, A3 |
| Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus | NT | resident (1987–1998) | present | A1 |
| Javan Hawk-eagle Nisaetus bartelsi | EN | resident (1987–1998) | present | A1, A2 |
| Phylloscopus grammiceps | NR | resident (1987–1998) | present | A2 |
| Grey-cheeked Tit-babbler Mixornis flavicollis | LC | resident (1987–1998) | present | A2 |
| Crescent-chested Babbler Cyanoderma melanothorax | LC | resident (1987–1998) | present | A2 |
| Black-winged Myna Acridotheres melanopterus | EN | resident (2000) | present | A1, A3 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2011) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||

| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2011 | poor | high | high |

| Species | Actual vs Reference (units) | % remaining | Result | ||
| Green Peafowl Pavo muticus | 70 / 117 (birds) | 60 | poor | ||
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Invasive and other problematic species and genes | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Human intrusions and disturbance | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | no or slight decline (<1% over 3 generations) | low |
| Biological resource use | happening now | few individuals/small area (<10%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | low |

|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Planning | Action | Result |
| Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | high |
