The site was identified as important in 2008 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
Greater Rhea Rhea americana	NT	resident	2001-2003	< 50 individuals	A1
Mottled Piculet Picumnus nebulosus	NT	resident	2001-2003	< 50 individuals	A1
Sharp-tailed Tyrant Culicivora caudacuta	LC	resident	2001-2003	< 50 individuals	A1
Saffron-cowled Blackbird Xanthopsar flavus	EN	resident	2001-2003	< 50 individuals	A1
Blue Seedeater Amaurospiza moesta	LC	resident	2001-2003	50-249 individuals	A1
Marsh Seedeater Sporophila palustris	EN	breeding	2001-2003	< 50 individuals	A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2008) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. 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	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed
