IBA Justification

The site was identified as important 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 List1 Season Year(s) Size IBA criteria
Moluccan Scrubfowl Eulipoa wallacei VU resident 2004 present A1, A2
Salmon-crested Cockatoo Cacatua moluccensis EN resident 2004 present A1, A2
Purple-naped Lory Lorius domicella EN resident 2004 present A1, A2

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2004) may differ.


IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment State Pressure Response
2016 favourable medium medium
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
no habitat medium

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Biological resource use likely in long term (beyond 4 years) some of area/population (10-49%) moderate to rapid deterioration medium
Human intrusions and disturbance likely in long term (beyond 4 years) some of area/population (10-49%) slow but significant deterioration medium
Climate change and severe weather happening now some of area/population (10-49%) slow but significant deterioration medium
Pollution happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) moderate to rapid deterioration low
Agricultural expansion and intensification happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Geological events happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Natural system modifications happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Residential and commercial development happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) no or imperceptible deterioration low

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90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity medium
