The site was identified as important in 2002 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
Green Peafowl Pavo muticus	EN	resident	1998	14 males	A1
Siamese Fireback Lophura diardi	LC	resident	1998	present	A1
White-winged Duck Asarcornis scutulata	CR	resident	1998	1 breeding pairs	A1
Pale-capped Pigeon Columba punicea	VU	resident	1998	1 breeding pairs	A1
Grey-faced Tit-babbler Mixornis kelleyi	LC	resident	1998	present	A2

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2002) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2002. The most recent assessment (2008) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Shrubland	-	-	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
Biological resource use	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
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management plan exists but the management planning process has begun	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Forest	Semi-evergreen rain forest (tropical), Moist deciduous forest (tropical), Dry deciduous forest (tropical)	60
Shrubland	Secondary scrub	40

Land use	% of IBA
