The site was identified as important in 2022 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
White-browed Guan Penelope jacucaca	VU	resident	2021	min 30 individuals	A1
Hooded Visorbearer Augastes lumachella	NT	resident	2014-2017	min 30 individuals	B1a

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2022) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2022. The most recent assessment (2022) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Savanna	moderate (70-90%)	moderate (70-90%)	unfavourable
Forest	moderate (70-90%)	moderate (70-90%)	unfavourable
Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks)	good (> 90%)	good (> 90%)	favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Energy production and mining	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Biological resource use	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Most of site (50-90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	No management plan exists but the management planning process has begun	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
1998	Parque Estadual Do Morro Do Chapéu	Parque	12

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Forest	Tropical deciduous forest, Tropical semi-deciduous forest	major (>10)
Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks)		major (>10)
Savanna	Cerrado	major (>10)

1. IUCN Habitat classification.

Land use	% of IBA
nature conservation and research	major (>10)
rangeland/pastureland	minor (<10)
agriculture	minor (<10)
tourism/recreation	minor (<10)
