Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2022 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow-legged Tinamou Crypturellus noctivagus | NT | resident (2021) | min 30 birds | B1a |
| Rusty-margined Guan Penelope superciliaris | NT | resident (2016) | min 30 birds | B1a |
| Outcrop Sabrewing Campylopterus calcirupicola | VU | resident (2013–2022) | min 30 birds | A1 |
| Moustached Woodcreeper Xiphocolaptes falcirostris | VU | resident (2015–2022) | min 30 birds | A1 |
| Minas Gerais Tyrannulet Phylloscartes roquettei | EN | resident (2015) | min 15 birds | A1 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2022. The most recent assessment (2023) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2023 | very poor | very high | very 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 |
| Forest | very poor (<40%) | poor (40–69%) | very poor |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | happening now | most of population/area (50–90%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | very high |
| Biological resource use | happening now | most of population/area (50–90%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | very high |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
