The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2024 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
Slender Antbird Rhopornis ardesiacus	EN	resident (2014)	min 30 birds	A1

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2024. The most recent assessment (2022) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	very poor (<40%)	moderate (70–90%)	very poor
Artificial/Terrestrial	poor (40–69%)	very poor (<40%)	very poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Residential and commercial development	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	high
Climate change and severe weather	likely in short term (<4 years)	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low
Natural system modifications	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Little/none of area covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	very low

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Artificial/Terrestrial	major (>10)	Perennial crops, orchards, groves; Abandoned or fallow farmland, disturbed ground; Improved pasture land
Forest	major (>10)	Tropical semi-deciduous forest; Tropical lowland evergreen forest; Tropical deciduous forest

Land use	% of IBA
not utilised	major (>10)
agriculture	minor (<10)
forestry	minor (<10)
rangeland/pastureland	minor (<10)
urban/industrial/transport	minor (<10)
