The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2004 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
Bar-backed Partridge Arborophila brunneopectus	LC	resident (2000)	present	A3
Pale-capped Pigeon Columba punicea	VU	resident (2004)	present	A3
Rufous-necked Hornbill Aceros nipalensis	VU	resident (2004)	present	A1
Green-eared Barbet Psilopogon faiostrictus	LC	resident (2000)	present	A3
Blue Pitta Hydrornis cyaneus	LC	resident (2000)	present	A3
Blue-winged Pitta Pitta moluccensis	LC	breeding (2000)	present	A3
Crow-billed Drongo Dicrurus annectens	LC	resident (2000)	present	A3
Sultan Tit Melanochlora sultanea	LC	resident (2000)	present	A3
Olive Bulbul Iole viridescens	LC	resident (2000)	present	A3

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2013) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Energy production and mining	likely in short term (<4 years)	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations)	high
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	no or slight decline (<1% 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90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not compre­hensive	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not compre­hensive and are limited by resources and capacity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
1972	Huai Kha Khaeng	Wildlife Sanctuary (Ia)	3
1987	Mae Wong	National Park (II)	100
1989	Um Phang	Wildlife Sanctuary (Ia)	2
