Bukit Bahar - Tajau Pecah


IBA Justification

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
Malay Crestless Fireback Lophura erythrophthalma CR resident (2003) present A1
Large Green-pigeon Treron capellei VU resident (2003) present A1
Short-toed Coucal Centropus rectunguis VU resident (2003) present A1
Wallace's Hawk-eagle Nisaetus nanus VU resident (2003) present A1
Sumatran Drongo Dicrurus sumatranus LC resident (2003) present A2, A3
Large-billed Blue Flycatcher Cyornis caerulatus VU resident (2003) present A1
Blue-masked Leafbird Chloropsis venusta NT resident (2003) present A2, A3

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2020) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Transportation and service corridors happe­ning now some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations) high
Human intrusions and disturbance happe­ning now some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations) high
Biological resource use happe­ning now some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) medium
Natural system modifications likely in short term (<4 years) some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification happe­ning now few indivi­duals/small area (<10%) moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations) low
Energy production and mining happe­ning now few indivi­duals/small area (<10%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) low
Invasive and other problematic species and genes happe­ning now few indivi­duals/small area (<10%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) low
Pollution happe­ning now 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
Not assessed A compre­hensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not compre­hensive and are limited by resources and capacity low
