Species Red List1 Season Year(s) 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

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.

Year of assessment State Pressure Response
2020 not assessed high low
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
yes unset good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Transportation and service corridors happening now some of area/population (10-49%) very rapid to severe deterioration high
Human intrusions and disturbance happening now some of area/population (10-49%) very rapid to severe deterioration high
Biological resource use happening now majority/most of area/population (50-90%) moderate to rapid deterioration high
Natural system modifications likely in short term (within 4 years) some of area/population (10-49%) slow but significant deterioration medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification likely in long term (beyond 4 years) small area/few individuals (<10%) very rapid to severe deterioration low
Energy production and mining happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Invasive and other problematic species and genes happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Pollution happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) no or imperceptible deterioration low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas Management plan Other 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
