The site was identified as important 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	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

Ogea Monarch Mayrornis versicolor	NT	resident	1986	1,300-2,000 mature individuals	A1, A2

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2006) may differ.

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%)	near favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Climate change and severe weather	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
