Parque Pumalin


IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2010 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
Chilean Pigeon Patagioenas araucana LC resident 2008 present A2
Slender-billed Parakeet Enicognathus leptorhynchus LC resident 2008 present A2
Black-throated Huet-huet Pteroptochos tarnii LC resident 2008 present A2
Chucao Tapaculo Scelorchilus rubecula LC resident 2008 present A2

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2015) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment State Pressure Response
2015 favourable medium medium
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
yes habitat medium

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat Quantity (% remaining) Quality (% carrying capacity) Result
Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks) - good (> 90%) favourable
Wetlands (inland) - good (> 90%) favourable
Marine Coastal/Supratidal - good (> 90%) favourable
Forest - good (> 90%) favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Residential and commercial development happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Geological events past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting some of area/population (10-49%) very rapid to severe deterioration low
Transportation and service corridors happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas Management plan Other action Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity medium
