The site was identified as important in 2016 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
Bean Goose Anser fabalis	LC	non-breeding	2011-2015	8,373-11,426 individuals	A4i, B1i, C3
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	breeding	2011-2015	1-2 breeding pairs	C6
Black Woodpecker Dryocopus martius	LC	breeding	2011-2015	9-10 breeding pairs	C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2016) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2016. The most recent assessment (2018) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Natural system modifications	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Pollution	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Energy production and mining	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	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90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	medium
