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
Malay Crestless Fireback Lophura erythrophthalma	CR	resident	2003	present	A1, A3
Salvadori's Pheasant Lophura inornata	NT	resident	2003	present	A1, A2
Large Green-pigeon Treron capellei	VU	resident	2003	present	A1, A3
Short-toed Coucal Centropus rectunguis	VU	resident	2003	present	A1, A3
Storm's Stork Ciconia stormi	EN	resident	2003	present	A1, A3
Wallace's Hawk-eagle Nisaetus nanus	VU	resident	2003	present	A1, A3
Sumatran Drongo Dicrurus sumatranus	LC	resident	2003	present	A2
Large-billed Blue Flycatcher Cyornis caerulatus	VU	resident	2003	present	A1, A3
Blue-masked Leafbird Chloropsis venusta	NT	resident	2003	present	A2

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

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2012) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	moderate (70-90%)	good (> 90%)	near favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Residential and commercial development	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Climate change and severe weather	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
Energy production and mining	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Transportation and service corridors	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant 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 comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	high
