IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2006	not assessed	medium	very low
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
no	unset	poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	likely in short term (<4 years)	some of population/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations)	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Little/none of area covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	very low
