Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2005 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca | NT | winter (2002) | frequent | A1 |
| Sarus Crane Grus antigone | VU | resident (2004) | present | A1 |
| Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus | NT | non-breeding (1990–1999) | rare | A1, A4i |
| Oriental Darter Anhinga melanogaster | LC | resident (2002) | present | A1 |
| Black-bellied Tern Sterna acuticauda | EN | unknown (2004) | present | A1 |
| White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis | CR | non-breeding (2002) | present | A1, A4ii |
| Slender-billed Vulture Gyps tenuirostris | CR | non-breeding (2002) | present | A1, A4ii |
| Indian Spotted Eagle Clanga hastata | VU | unknown (2004) | present | A1, A4ii |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2005. The most recent assessment (2011) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2011 | very poor | high | low |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | habitat | medium | |
| State (condition of the trigger species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Wetlands (inland) | moderate (70–90%) | poor (40–69%) | very poor |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Biological resource use | happening now | most of population/area (50–90%) | moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Human intrusions and disturbance | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | medium |
| Pollution | happening now | 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10%) | A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not comprehensive | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | low |
| Habitat | % of IBA | Habitat detail |
