The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2021 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
Tundra Swan Cygnus columbianus	LC	non-breeding (2013–2021)	220–500 birds	B3a, C2
Pink-footed Goose Anser brachyrhynchus	LC	non-breeding (2018–2020)	1,000–2,000 birds	B3a, C3
Common Crane Grus grus	LC	breeding (2013–2021)	max 6 pairs	C6

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2021. The most recent assessment (2010) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Common Crane Grus grus	5 / 5 (birds)	100	good
Eurasian Eagle-owl Bubo bubo	3 / 3 (pairs)	100	good

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
