Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2004 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swamp Francolin Ortygornis gularis | NT | resident (2002) | present | A1 |
| White-winged Duck Asarcornis scutulata | CR | resident (2002) | present | A1 |
| Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus | NT | resident (2002) | present | A1 |
| White-bellied Heron Ardea insignis | CR | resident (2002) | present | A1 |
| Spot-billed Pelican Pelecanus philippensis | NT | resident (2002) | present | A1 |
| White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis | CR | non-breeding (2004) | present | A1 |
| Slender-billed Vulture Gyps tenuirostris | CR | non-breeding (2004) | present | A1 |
