Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2024 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andean Flamingo Phoenicoparrus andinus | VU | non-breeding (2016) | 7–321 birds | A1 |
| Red Knot Calidris canutus | NT | non-breeding (2016) | min 250 birds | B1a |
| Buff-breasted Sandpiper Calidris subruficollis | VU | non-breeding (2016) | min 50 birds | B1a |
| Marsh Seedeater Sporophila palustris | EN | unknown (2017) | min 30 birds | A1 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2024. The most recent assessment (2024) is shown below.
