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
Red-breasted Goose Branta ruficollis	VU	passage (2001)	2,000–10,000 birds	A1, A4i, B1i
Greater White-fronted Goose Anser albifrons	LC	passage (2001)	20,000–30,000 birds	A4i, B1i
Red-crested Pochard Netta rufina	LC	non-breeding (2002)	600–700 birds	B1i
Eurasian Spoonbill Platalea leucorodia	LC	breeding (2002)	80–100 pairs	A4i, B1i, B2
Dalmatian Pelican Pelecanus crispus	NT	non-breeding (2002)	110–140 birds	A1, A4i, B1i
Ruff Calidris pugnax	LC	passage (2002)	12,500–21,500 birds	B1i
Slender-billed Gull Larus genei	LC	breeding (2002)	20–40 pairs	B2
White-winged Tern Chlidonias leucopterus	LC	non-breeding (2002)	5,000–15,000 birds	B1i
Common Gull-billed Tern Gelochelidon nilotica	LC	breeding (2002)	100–200 pairs	B1i, B2
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	passage (2001–2002)	20,000 birds	A4iii

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. The most recent assessment (2002) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Human intrusions and disturbance	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	No management planning has taken place	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Wetlands (inland)	70	Standing brackish and salt water; Standing freshwater
Grassland	30	Steppes and dry calcareous grassland

Land use	% of IBA
hunting	100
rangeland/pastureland	30
water management	14
fisheries/aquaculture	7
