Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List¹	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus	NT	resident	2004	present	A1
Storm's Stork Ciconia stormi	EN	resident	2004	present	A1, A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2001) may differ.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2012	very unfavourable	high	low
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
yes	habitat	medium

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	poor (40-69%)	moderate (70-90%)	very unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high

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	Unknown	Very little or no conservation action taking place	low
