Bindoon-Julimar


IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2009 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
Carnaby's Black-cockatoo Zanda latirostris EN breeding 2006-2008 110-300 nests A1, A3
Red-capped Parrot Purpureicephalus spurius LC resident 1998-2008 frequent A3
Rufous Treecreeper Climacteris rufus LC resident 1998-2008 abundant A3
Western Spinebill Acanthorhynchus superciliosus LC resident 1998-2008 frequent A3
Western Thornbill Acanthiza inornata LC resident 1998-2008 abundant A3
Western Yellow Robin Eopsaltria griseogularis LC resident 1998-2008 frequent A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2009) may differ.


IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2009. The most recent assessment (2020) is shown below.

2020 unfavourable high medium
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat Quantity (% remaining) Quality (% carrying capacity) Result
Shrubland moderate (70-90%) moderate (70-90%) unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Human intrusions and disturbance happening now majority/most of area/population (50-90%) moderate to rapid deterioration high
Natural system modifications happening now some of area/population (10-49%) slow but significant deterioration medium
Invasive and other problematic species and genes happening now some of area/population (10-49%) slow but significant deterioration medium
Energy production and mining happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Biological resource use happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Climate change and severe weather likely in long term (beyond 4 years) small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant 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 Some limited conservation initiatives are in place medium
