The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2006 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
Many-coloured Fruit-dove Ptilinopus perousii	LC	resident (2005)	common	A2
Tongan Fruit-dove Ptilinopus porphyraceus	LC	resident (2005)	common	A2
Blue-crowned Lorikeet Vini australis	LC	resident (2005)	frequent	A2
Polynesian Wattled Honeyeater Foulehaio carunculatus	LC	resident (2005)	common	A2
Sulphur-breasted Myzomela Myzomela jugularis	LC	resident (2005)	common	A2
Polynesian Triller Lalage maculosa	LC	resident (2005)	common	A2
Vanikoro Flycatcher Myiagra vanikorensis	LC	resident (2005)	common	A2
Ogea Monarch Mayrornis versicolor	NT	resident (1986)	1,300–2,000 mature individuals	A1, A2
Slaty Monarch Mayrornis lessoni	LC	resident (2005)	rare	A2
Fiji Shrikebill Clytorhynchus vitiensis	LC	resident (2005)	uncommon	A2
Polynesian Starling Aplonis tabuensis	LC	resident (2005)	common	A2

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2006. The most recent assessment (2018) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	-	moderate (70–90%)	moderate

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Climate change and severe weather	likely in long term (>4 years)	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happe­ning now	whole of popul­ation/area (>90%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Little/none of area covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	very low

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Forest	major (>10)

Land use	% of IBA
agriculture	minor (<10)
