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
Eastern Imperial Eagle Aquila heliaca	VU	breeding (1989–1996)	2 pairs	A1

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2006) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Eastern Imperial Eagle Aquila heliaca	2 / 2 (pairs)	100	good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
No known threats	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	No management planning has taken place	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not compre­hensive and are limited by resources and capacity	low

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
-	Beynam Ormani	Protected Forest (-)	40
1978	Beynam Ormani	SIT (Law on Protection of Cultural and Natural Assets No. 2863) (-)	100

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Forest	100	Mixed woodland

Land use	% of IBA
not utilised	85
tourism/recreation	10
forestry	5
