The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2007 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
White-headed Duck Oxyura leucocephala	EN	passage (2006–2007)	2 birds	A1
Greater Sandplover Charadrius leschenaultii	LC	breeding (2006–2007)	2 birds	A3
Saker Falcon Falco cherrug	EN	passage (2006–2007)	1 birds	A1
Sykes's Warbler Iduna rama	LC	breeding (2006–2007)	16 birds	A3
Upcher's Warbler Hippolais languida	LC	breeding (2006–2007)	25 birds	A3
Streaked Scrub-warbler Scotocerca inquieta	LC	resident (2006–2007)	7 birds	A3
Finsch's Wheatear Oenanthe finschii	LC	breeding (2006–2007)	13 birds	A3
Desert Finch Rhodospiza obsoleta	LC	breeding (2006–2007)	20 birds	A3
Red-headed Bunting Emberiza bruniceps	LC	breeding (2006–2007)	10 birds	A3

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2007. The most recent assessment (2007) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low
Natural system modifications	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low
