IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2024 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
Chestnut Seedeater Sporophila cinnamomea	VU	unknown	2015	min 30 individuals	A1
Marsh Seedeater Sporophila palustris	EN	unknown	2015	min 10 individuals	A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2024) may differ.

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2024. The most recent assessment (2024) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2024	very unfavourable	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)	poor (40-69%)	poor (40-69%)	very unfavourable
Shrubland	poor (40-69%)	poor (40-69%)	very unfavourable
Forest	poor (40-69%)	poor (40-69%)	very unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Residential and commercial development	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
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	Not assessed	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible
