The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2002 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
Sumba Green-pigeon Treron teysmannii	NT	resident (2000)	present	A2
Red-naped Fruit-dove Ptilinopus dohertyi	VU	resident (2004)	present	A1, A2
Sumba Buttonquail Turnix everetti	LC	resident (2004)	present	A1, A2
Sumba Boobook Ninox rudolfi	NT	resident (2000)	present	A2
Sumba Hornbill Rhyticeros everetti	EN	resident (2004)	present	A1, A2
Cinnamon-banded Kingfisher Todiramphus australasia	LC	resident (2000)	present	A2
Citron-crested Cockatoo Cacatua citrinocristata	CR	resident (2004)	present	A1
Sumba Cicadabird Edolisoma dohertyi	LC	resident (2000)	present	A2
Yellow-spectacled White-eye Heleia wallacei	LC	resident (2000)	present	A2
Chestnut-backed Thrush Geokichla dohertyi	NT	resident (2000)	present	A2
Sumba Warbling-flycatcher Eumyias stresemanni	LC	resident (2000)	present	A2
Sumba Flycatcher Ficedula harterti	LC	resident (2000)	present	A2
Apricot-breasted Sunbird Cinnyris buettikoferi	LC	resident (2000)	present	A2

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2002. The most recent assessment (2007) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)
Species	Actual vs Reference (units)	% remaining	Result
Sumba Hornbill Rhyticeros everetti	6,402 / 8,289 (birds)	78	moderate
Cacatua sulphurea	56 / 614 (birds)	10	very poor

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	moderate (70–90%)	moderate (70–90%)	poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Climate change and severe weather	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Transportation and service corridors	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low
Biological resource use	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	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 compre­hensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	medium
