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
Blue-tailed Imperial-pigeon Ducula concinna	LC	resident	2000	present	A2
Grey Imperial-pigeon Ducula pickeringii	VU	resident	2004	present	A1, A2
Sangihe Dwarf-kingfisher Ceyx sangirensis	CR	resident	2000	present	A2
Cittura cyanotis	NR	resident	2000	present	A2
Red-and-blue Lory Eos histrio	EN	resident	2004	present	A1, A2
Sangihe Hanging-parrot Loriculus catamene	NT	resident	2004	present	A1, A2
Cerulean Flycatcher Eutrichomyias rowleyi	CR	resident	2004	present	A2
Elegant Sunbird Aethopyga duyvenbodei	EN	resident	2004	present	A1, 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 (2021) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
Cerulean Flycatcher Eutrichomyias rowleyi	1	0	adults	0	very unfavourable
Elegant Sunbird Aethopyga duyvenbodei	2	2	adults	100	favourable

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	poor (40-69%)	poor (40-69%)	very unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Geological events	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Biological resource use	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Pollution	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Natural system modifications	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	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
