The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2022 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
Fringe-backed Fire-eye Pyriglena atra	EN	resident (2022)	30 birds	A1
White-winged Cotinga Xipholena atropurpurea	VU	resident (2021)	30 birds	A1

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2022. The most recent assessment (2023) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	poor (40–69%)	moderate (70–90%)	very 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%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	high
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Little/none of area covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	very low

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Forest	major (>10)	Tropical lowland evergreen forest; Tropical semi-deciduous forest

Land use	% of IBA
agriculture	major (>10)
rangeland/pastureland	major (>10)
forestry	major (>10)
nature conservation and research	minor (<10)
