The site was identified as important 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Rufous-necked Hornbill Aceros nipalensis	VU	resident	2004	present	A1
Yellow-vented Warbler Phylloscopus cantator	LC	winter	2004	present	A2
White-naped Yuhina Yuhina bakeri	LC	resident	2004	present	A2
Tawny-breasted Wren-babbler Spelaeornis longicaudatus	NT	resident	2004	present	A1, A2
Grey Sibia Heterophasia gracilis	LC	resident	2004	present	A2

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2004) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2003) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	low
Residential and commercial development	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
Transportation and service corridors	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Pollution	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
