The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2016 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus | EN | breeding (2016) | 20–25 pairs | A1 |
| Saker Falcon Falco cherrug | EN | breeding (-) | 1–2 pairs | B2 |
