Koh Kapik

Current view: Data table and detailed info

IBA Justification

The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2003 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
Spotted Greenshank Tringa guttifer	EN	winter (1998)	common	A1, A4i

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2003. The most recent assessment (2009) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2009	good	high	low
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
no	habitat	poor

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Pollution	happening now	some of population/area (10–49%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations)	high
Residential and commercial development	happening now	few individuals/small area (<10%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 generations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Most of area (50–90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	No management planning has taken place	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	low
