Data Zone
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
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.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2012 | moderate | high | high |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | habitat | good | |
| State (condition of the trigger species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Forest | moderate (70–90%) | good (>90%) | moderate |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Biological resource use | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Residential and commercial development | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | medium |
| Climate change and severe weather | likely in short term (<4 years) | some of population/area (10–49%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | medium |
| Energy production and mining | happening now | few individuals/small area (<10%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | low |
| Transportation and service corridors | 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 |
| 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 | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | high |
