The site was identified as important in 2023 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
Bahia Antwren Herpsilochmus pileatus	NT	resident	2017	min 30 individuals	A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2023) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2023. The most recent assessment (2022) is shown below.

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Residential and commercial development	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Biological resource use	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Pollution	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Some of site covered (10-49%)	A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
1994	Área De Proteção Ambiental Santo Antônio	Área de Proteção Ambiental	14
2006	Reserva Extrativista De Canavieiras	Reserva Extrativista	13
2008	Reserva Particular Do Patrimônio Natural Reserva Maria Vicentini Lopes	Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural	1

Forest	Tropical lowland evergreen forest, Mangrove	major (>10)

1. IUCN Habitat classification.

Land use	% of IBA
not utilised	major (>10)
