Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2024 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solitary Tinamou Tinamus solitarius | NT | resident (2016) | min 30 birds | B1a |
| Black-fronted Piping-guan Pipile jacutinga | EN | resident (2015) | min 20 birds | A1 |
| Saffron Toucanet Pteroglossus bailloni | NT | resident (2015) | min 40 birds | B1a |
| Vinaceous-breasted Amazon Amazona vinacea | EN | unknown (2015) | min 11 birds | A1 |
| White-browed Foliage-gleaner Anabacerthia amaurotis | NT | resident (2015) | min 90 birds | B1a |
| Azure-shouldered Tanager Tangara cyanoptera | LC | resident (2015) | min 90 birds | B1a |
| Buffy-fronted Seedeater Sporophila frontalis | VU | resident (2021–2024) | min 30 birds | A1 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2024. The most recent assessment (2024) is shown below.
