The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2023 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting IBA criteria.
Populations meeting IBA criteria ('key species') at the site:| Species | Red List | Season (year/s of estimate) | Size | IBA criteria |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rusty-margined Guan Penelope superciliaris | NT | resident (2018) | min 30 individuals | B1a |
| White-browed Guan Penelope jacucaca | VU | resident (2021) | min 30 individuals | A1 |
| Turquoise-fronted Amazon Amazona aestiva | NT | resident (2021) | min 30 individuals | B1a |
| Moustached Woodcreeper Xiphocolaptes falcirostris | VU | resident (2021) | min 30 individuals | A1 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2023. The most recent assessment (2023) is shown below.
| IBA conservation status | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2023 | favourable | low | high |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| no | habitat | good | |
| State (condition of the key species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Forest | good (>90%) | good (>90%) | favourable |
| Pressure (threats to the key species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Biological resource use | happening now | few individuals/small area (<10%) | slow deterioration (1–10% over 3 generations) | low |

|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Planning | Action | Result |
| Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species | Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity | high |
