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 ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Solitary Tinamou Tinamus solitarius	NT	resident (2017)	min 30 birds	B1a
Hook-billed Hermit Glaucis dohrnii	VU	resident (2017)	min 30 birds	A1, A2
Brown-backed Parrotlet Touit melanonotus	NT	resident (2022)	min 30 birds	B1a
Golden-tailed Parrotlet Touit surdus	VU	resident (2017)	min 30 birds	A1
Blue-breasted Parrot Pionus reichenowi	VU	resident (2017)	min 30 birds	A1
Red-browed Amazon Amazona rhodocorytha	VU	resident (2017)	min 30 birds	A1
Ochre-marked Parakeet Pyrrhura cruentata	VU	resident (2017–2019)	min 30 birds	A1
Band-tailed Antwren Myrmotherula urosticta	VU	resident (2017)	min 30 birds	A1
Bahia Antwren Herpsilochmus pileatus	NT	resident (2017)	min 30 birds	A1, A2
White-winged Cotinga Xipholena atropurpurea	VU	resident (2017)	min 30 birds	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.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	moderate (70–90%)	moderate (70–90%)	poor

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Most of area (50–90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	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	medium
