The site was identified as important 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca	NT	breeding	1990-2006	22-26 breeding pairs	C1
Corncrake Crex crex	LC	breeding	1990-2006	25-30 breeding pairs	C1
Little Crake Zapornia parva	LC	breeding	1990-2006	30 breeding pairs	C6
Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa	NT	passage	1990-2006	60 individuals	C1
Short-eared Owl Asio flammeus	LC	breeding	1990-2006	2-4 breeding pairs	C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2007) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2007. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Artificial/Terrestrial	good (> 90%)	good (> 90%)	favourable
Forest	good (> 90%)	good (> 90%)	favourable
Wetlands (inland)	good (> 90%)	good (> 90%)	favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

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

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
2006	Dumbravita Fishpond Complex	Ramsar Site, Wetland of International Importance	-
2007	Dumbrăvița - Rotbav - Măgura Codlei	Special Protection Area (Birds Directive)	90
2011	Oltul Superior	Site of Community Importance (Habitats Directive)	7

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Forest	Broadleaved deciduous woodland	46
Artificial/Terrestrial	Arable land	34
Wetlands (inland)	Standing freshwater, Water fringe vegetation	20
