Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2019 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilean Tinamou Nothoprocta perdicaria | LC | resident (2015–2019) | 1–8 birds | A2 |
| Moustached Turca Pteroptochos megapodius | LC | resident (2015–2019) | 1–13 birds | A2 |
| White-throated Tapaculo Scelorchilus albicollis | LC | resident (2015–2019) | 1–17 birds | A2 |
| Dusky-tailed Canastero Pseudasthenes humicola | LC | resident (2015–2019) | 3–22 birds | A2 |
| Chilean Mockingbird Mimus thenca | LC | resident (2015–2019) | max 31 birds | A2 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2019. The most recent assessment (2019) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2019 | good | high | high |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| no | habitat | good | |
| State (condition of the trigger species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Shrubland | - | good (>90%) | good |
| 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) | whole of population/area (>90%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Invasive and other problematic species and genes | past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting | few individuals/small area (<10%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | low |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Planning | Action | Result |
| Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not comprehensive | The conservation measures needed for the site are being comprehensively and effectively implemented | high |
