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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parana Antwren Formicivora acutirostris | NT | resident (2015) | min 90 birds | B1a |
| Kaempfer's Tody-tyrant Hemitriccus kaempferi | VU | resident (2015) | min 30 birds | A1 |
