VN060
Ha Nam This is an IBA in Danger! 


IBA Justification

The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2002 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
Black-faced Spoonbill Platalea minor EN winter (2001) 4 birds A1, A4i

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2002. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment State Pressure Response
2016 very poor very high very low
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
no habitat unknown

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat Quantity (% remaining) Quality (% carrying capacity) Result
Artificial/Terrestrial very poor (<40%) very poor (<40%) very poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Transportation and service corridors happe­ning now whole of popul­ation/area (>90%) rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations) very high
Natural system modifications happe­ning now whole of popul­ation/area (>90%) rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations) very high
Residential and commercial development likely in short term (<4 years) whole of popul­ation/area (>90%) rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations) very high
Biological resource use likely in long term (>4 years) whole of popul­ation/area (>90%) rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations) high

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
