The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Caucasian Snowcock Tetraogallus caucasicus	LC	resident (2006)	1 nests	A2
Caucasian Grouse Lyrurus mlokosiewiczi	NT	resident (2006)	1 nests	A2
Eastern Imperial Eagle Aquila heliaca	VU	breeding (2006)	4–6 pairs	A1

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.

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
Grassland	50	Alpine, subalpine and boreal grassland; Mesophile grasslands; Steppes and dry calcareous grassland
Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks)	28
Forest	10
Artificial/Terrestrial	7	Arable land; Other urban and industrial areas
Wetlands (inland)	5	Raised bogs; Rivers and streams

Land use	% of IBA
hunting	100
rangeland/pastureland	50
