The site was identified as important in 2004 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
Moluccan Scrubfowl Eulipoa wallacei	VU	resident	2004	present	A1, A2
Dusky Scrubfowl Megapodius freycinet	LC	resident	2000	present	A2
Spectacled Imperial-pigeon Ducula perspicillata	LC	resident	2000	present	A2
Moluccan Goshawk Accipiter henicogrammus	NT	resident	2000	present	A2
White Cockatoo Cacatua alba	EN	resident	2004	present	A1, A2
Chattering Lory Lorius garrulus	VU	resident	2004	present	A1, A2
Long-billed Crow Corvus validus	LC	resident	2000	present	A2

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2004) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	-	moderate (70-90%)	near 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%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Climate change and severe weather	likely in short term (within 4 years)	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	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
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Forest	Mangrove forest (tropical)	22
Marine Coastal/Supratidal		17
