The site was identified as important in 2021 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
Wattled Curassow Crax globulosa	EN	resident	2012-2015	1 individuals	A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2021) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2021. The most recent assessment (2008) is shown below.
