Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2001 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| African Collared-dove Streptopelia roseogrisea | LC | resident (1999) | present | A3 |
| Black Crowned Crane Balearica pavonina | VU | resident (1999) | abundant | A4i |
| Arabian Bustard Ardeotis arabs | NT | resident (1999) | present | A3 |
| Savile's Bustard Lophotis savilei | LC | resident (1999) | present | A3 |
| Yellow-breasted Barbet Trachyphonus margaritatus | LC | resident (1999) | present | A3 |
| Chestnut-bellied Starling Lamprotornis pulcher | LC | resident (1999) | present | A3 |
| Black Scrub-robin Cercotrichas podobe | LC | resident (1999) | present | A3 |
| Sudan Golden Sparrow Passer luteus | LC | resident (1999) | present | A3 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2001. The most recent assessment (2009) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||

| 2009 | not assessed | very high | high |

| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | happening now | whole of population/area (>90%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | very high |

| Natural system modifications | happening now | whole of population/area (>90%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | very high |

| Climate change and severe weather | likely in short term (<4 years) | some of population/area (10–49%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | medium |
| Residential and commercial development | happening now | few individuals/small area (<10%) | no or slight decline (<1% over 3 generations) | low |

| Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | 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 | high |
