The site was identified as important in 2016 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
Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus	EN	breeding	2016	15-20 breeding pairs	A1
Griffon Vulture Gyps fulvus	LC	breeding	2002	25-30 breeding pairs	B2
Bonelli's Eagle Aquila fasciata	LC	breeding	-	1-3 breeding pairs	B2
Cinereous Bunting Emberiza cineracea	NT	breeding	1999	50-80 breeding pairs	A1, B2

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2016) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2016. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Wetlands (inland)	moderate (70-90%)	moderate (70-90%)	unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	likely in short term (within 4 years)	whole area/population (>90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Wetlands (inland)	Rivers and streams	minor (<10)
