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
Pin-tailed Sandgrouse Pterocles alchata	LC	breeding (2001)	15–25 pairs	B2
Great Bustard Otis tarda	EN	winter (1981)	800–1,000 birds	A1

Sociable Lapwing Vanellus gregarius	CR	passage (-)	30 birds	A1, A4i, B1i
Graceful Prinia Prinia gracilis	LC	breeding (-)	150 pairs	B2

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 (2013) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2013	not assessed	high	low
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
no	unset	medium

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	most of population/area (50–90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations)	high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of population/area (10–49%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations)	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Most of area (50–90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	No management planning has taken place	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low
