The site was identified as important 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Chestnut-bellied Partridge Arborophila javanica	LC	resident	1987-1998	present	A2
Green Peafowl Pavo muticus	EN	resident	1986	200 individuals	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

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2004) may differ.

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.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
Green Peafowl Pavo muticus	117	70	individuals	60	unfavourable

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 area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Biological resource use	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Whole area of site (>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

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
