The site was identified as important in 2001 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Greylag Goose Anser anser	LC	passage	1999	2,500 individuals	B1i
Black-necked Grebe Podiceps nigricollis	LC	passage	1999	2,500 individuals	A4i, B1i
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	passage	1999	500 individuals	B1i
Great Cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo	LC	non-breeding	1999	2,500 individuals	B1i
European Bee-eater Merops apiaster	LC	breeding	1999	300 breeding pairs	B2
European Bee-eater Merops apiaster	LC	passage	1999	2,000 individuals	B2
Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus	VU	passage	1999	250 individuals	B2
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	passage	1999	min 20,000 individuals	A4iii

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2001) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2001. The most recent assessment (2017) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Reference	Actual	Units	% remaining	Result
Great Crested Grebe Podiceps cristatus	1,000	650	individuals	65	unfavourable
Black-necked Grebe Podiceps nigricollis	2,500	60	individuals	3	very unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Human intrusions and disturbance	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Climate change and severe weather	likely in short term (within 4 years)	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Biological resource use	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
1984	Lisoviy masiv	Regional Zakaznik	17
2013	Sim Maiakiv Floodplain	Ramsar Site, Wetland of International Importance	6
