Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2010 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Puna Tinamou Tinamotis pentlandii | LC | resident (2008) | present | A3 |
| Puna Teal Spatula puna | LC | resident (2008) | present | A3 |
| Puna Miner Geositta punensis | LC | resident (2008) | present | A3 |
| Rock Earthcreeper Ochetorhynchus andaecola | LC | resident (2008) | present | A3 |
| Andean Negrito Lessonia oreas | LC | resident (2008) | present | A3 |
