Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2001 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Philippine Duck Anas luzonica | VU | resident (1990–1999) | present | A1 |
| Mindoro Bleeding-heart Gallicolumba platenae | CR | resident (1990–1999) | present | A1, A2 |
| Spotted Imperial-pigeon Ducula carola | VU | resident (1950–1959) | present | A1 |
| Black-hooded Coucal Centropus steerii | CR | resident (1990–1999) | present | A1, A2 |
| Mindoro Hornbill Penelopides mindorensis | EN | resident (1990–1999) | 20 birds | A1, A2 |
| Scarlet-collared Flowerpecker Dicaeum retrocinctum | NT | resident (1990–1999) | common | A1, A2 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2001. The most recent assessment (2018) is shown below.
