1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2010) may differ.
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2015) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2015 | near favourable | low | negligible |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | habitat | medium | |
| State (condition of the trigger species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Artificial/Terrestrial | - | moderate (70-90%) | near favourable |
| Forest | - | moderate (70-90%) | near favourable |
| Wetlands (inland) | - | good (> 90%) | favourable |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Residential and commercial development | happening now | small area/few individuals (<10%) | slow but significant deterioration | low |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | happening now | small area/few individuals (<10%) | slow but significant deterioration | low |
| 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 |
