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
Swamp Francolin Ortygornis gularis	NT	resident (2004)	present	A1, A3
Marbled Duck Marmaronetta angustirostris	NT	winter (2004)	present	A1
Sarus Crane Grus antigone	VU	resident (2004)	present	A1
Bengal Florican Houbaropsis bengalensis	CR	resident (2004)	present	A1, A3
Lesser Florican Sypheotides indicus	CR	resident (2004)	present	A1
Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus	NT	resident (2004)	present	A1
Black-necked Stork Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus	NT	resident (2003)	min 4 pairs	A4i
Spot-billed Pelican Pelecanus philippensis	NT	resident (2004)	present	A1
Wood Snipe Gallinago nemoricola	VU	winter (2004)	present	A1
White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis	CR	non-breeding (2004)	present	A1
Slender-billed Vulture Gyps tenuirostris	CR	non-breeding (2004)	present	A1
Greater Spotted Eagle Clanga clanga	VU	winter (2004)	present	A1
Pallas's Fish-eagle Haliaeetus leucoryphus	EN	resident (2004)	present	A1

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.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Grassland	good (>90%)	good (>90%)	good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Climate change and severe weather	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Transportation and service corridors	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
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	The conservation measures needed for the site are being compre­hensively and effectively implemented	high
