The site was identified as important in 2008 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
Caucasian Grouse Lyrurus mlokosiewiczi	NT	resident	1981-2006	1-3 breeding pairs	A3
Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus	EN	resident	1981-1997	1-3 breeding pairs	A1
Yellow-billed Chough Pyrrhocorax graculus	LC	breeding	2006	1	A3
Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria	LC	resident	1981-2006	2-9 breeding pairs	A3
Alpine Accentor Prunella collaris	LC	breeding	2006	1	A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2008) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. The most recent assessment (2006) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Grassland	good (> 90%)	good (> 90%)	favourable
Wetlands (inland)	good (> 90%)	good (> 90%)	favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Biological resource use	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Some of site covered (10-49%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
1978	Ozero Kezenoj-Am (Ejzenam)	Nature Monument	17

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Grassland	Alpine, subalpine and boreal grassland	52
Wetlands (inland)	Standing freshwater	40
Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks)	Scree & boulders	8

1. IUCN Habitat classification.

Land use	% of IBA
rangeland/pastureland	52
not utilised	47
