Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List¹	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Spot-billed Pelican Pelecanus philippensis	NT	non-breeding	2002	common	A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2003) may differ.

IBA Conservation

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2009	near favourable	high	negligible
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
no	habitat	medium

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Wetlands (inland)	good (> 90%)	moderate (70-90%)	near favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Residential and commercial development	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Biological resource use	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Unknown	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible
