Site description (2004 baseline)
A part of a predominantly mixed and coniferous forest complex including several small wetlands. Part of the IBA was first listed in 1994 [1], now it qualifies under the IBA C criteria. Fully protected: there is a 99.1% overlap with Mezole restricted nature reserve, a candidate SPA. The gap between IBA and pSPA boundaries is due to differences in methods in boundary setting.A part of a predominantly mixed and coniferous forest complex including several small wetlands.
