The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Greater Rhea Rhea americana	NT	resident (2001–2003)	< 50 birds	A1
Mottled Piculet Picumnus nebulosus	NT	resident (2001–2003)	< 50 birds	A1
Sharp-tailed Tyrant Culicivora caudacuta	LC	resident (2001–2003)	< 50 birds	A1
Saffron-cowled Blackbird Xanthopsar flavus	EN	resident (2001–2003)	< 50 birds	A1
Blue Seedeater Amaurospiza moesta	LC	resident (2001–2003)	50-249 birds	A1
Marsh Seedeater Sporophila palustris	EN	breeding (2001–2003)	< 50 birds	A1

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 (>4 years)	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations)	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed
