Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List | Season (year/s of estimate) | Size | IBA criteria |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow-legged Tinamou Crypturellus noctivagus | NT | resident (2015) | min 30 birds | B1a |
| White-browed Guan Penelope jacucaca | VU | resident (2021) | min 30 birds | A1 |
| Hooded Visorbearer Augastes lumachella | NT | resident (2022) | 21–1,000 birds | B1a |
| Crowned Solitary Eagle Buteogallus coronatus | EN | resident (2017–2020) | min 3 birds | A1 |
| Sincora Antwren Formicivora grantsaui | EN | resident (2022) | 6–30 birds | A1 |
| Diamantina Tapaculo Scytalopus diamantinensis | EN | resident (2022) | min 30 birds | A1 |
| White-banded Tanager Neothraupis fasciata | NT | resident (2021–2022) | min 90 birds | B1a |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2022. The most recent assessment (2023) is shown below.
