Ha Nam (Vietnam) - BirdLife IBA factsheet

VN060

Ha Nam This is an IBA in Danger!

Current view: Data table and detailed info

IBA Justification

The site was identified as important 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 List¹	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Black-faced Spoonbill Platalea minor	EN	winter	2001	4 individuals	A1, A4i

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2002) may differ.

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 unfavourable	very high	negligible
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 unfavourable

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

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
