The site was identified as important in 2008 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
Rufous-vented Chachalaca Ortalis ruficauda	LC	resident	2003	present	A3
Orinoco Goose Neochen jubata	NT	resident	1992-2008	frequent	A1
Dwarf Cuckoo Coccycua pumila	LC	resident	2003	present	A3
Pale-headed Jacamar Brachygalba goeringi	LC	resident	2003	present	A3
Two-banded Puffbird Hypnelus bicinctus	LC	resident	2003	present	A3
Scaled Piculet Picumnus squamulatus	LC	resident	2003	present	A3
White-bearded Flycatcher Phelpsia inornata	LC	resident	2003	present	A3
Stripe-backed Wren Campylorhynchus nuchalis	LC	resident	2003	present	A3
Orinocan Saltator Saltator orenocensis	LC	resident	2003	present	A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2008) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. The most recent assessment (2008) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Residential and commercial development	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Energy production and mining	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Transportation and service corridors	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Natural system modifications	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Pollution	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Climate change and severe weather	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Biological resource use	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
