The site was identified as important 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Pin-tailed Sandgrouse Pterocles alchata	LC	breeding	2001	15-25 breeding pairs	B2
Great Bustard Otis tarda	EN	winter	1981	800-1,000 individuals	A1
Great Bustard Otis tarda	EN	breeding	-	45-50 individuals	A1
Sociable Lapwing Vanellus gregarius	CR	passage	-	30 individuals	A1, A4i, B1i
Graceful Prinia Prinia gracilis	LC	breeding	-	150 breeding pairs	B2

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2004) may differ.

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.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high

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

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
2007	Tek Tek Daglari MP	National Park	5

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Desert	Semidesert	major (>10)
Savanna		major (>10)
Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks)	Inland cliffs	minor (<10)

1. IUCN Habitat classification.

Land use	% of IBA
agriculture	major (>10)
nature conservation and research	minor (<10)
urban/industrial/transport	minor (<10)
