The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2020 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
Crested Duck Lophonetta specularioides	LC	resident (2008)	2,109 birds	A4i
Chilean Flamingo Phoenicopterus chilensis	NT	resident (2008)	1,759 birds	A1
Chilean Flamingo Phoenicopterus chilensis	NT	breeding (2016–2020)	435–1,366 birds	B1a
Andean Flamingo Phoenicoparrus andinus	VU	non-breeding (2008)	2,819 birds	A1, A4i
Andean Flamingo Phoenicoparrus andinus	VU	resident (2016–2020)	147–1,742 birds	A1
Puna Flamingo Phoenicoparrus jamesi	NT	unknown (2008)	208 birds	A1
Puna Flamingo Phoenicoparrus jamesi	NT	resident (2016–2020)	54–1,793 birds	A4, B1a
Horned Coot Fulica cornuta	NT	resident (2008)	782 birds	A1, A4i
Horned Coot Fulica cornuta	NT	resident (2016–2020)	436–896 birds	A4, B1a, B3a
Creamy-rumped Miner Geositta isabellina	LC	resident (2008)	present	A3
Black-fronted Ground-tyrant Muscisaxicola frontalis	LC	breeding (2008)	present	A3
Greater Yellow-finch Sicalis auriventris	LC	resident (2008)	present	A3

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2020. The most recent assessment (2015) is shown below.

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Energy production and mining	happe­ning now	whole of popul­ation/area (>90%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	high
Geological events	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	whole of popul­ation/area (>90%)	rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not compre­hensive	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not compre­hensive and are limited by resources and capacity	medium

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
1994	Nevado Tres Cruces	Parque Nacional (II)	83

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
