The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2004 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moluccan Scrubfowl Eulipoa wallacei | VU | resident (2004) | present | A1, A2 |
| Ducula perspicillata | NR | resident (2000) | present | A2 |
| Salmon-crested Cockatoo Cacatua moluccensis | EN | resident (2004) | present | A1, A2 |
| Red Lory Eos bornea | LC | resident (2000) | present | A2 |
| Seram Friarbird Philemon subcorniculatus | LC | resident (2000) | present | A2 |
| Seram Oriole Oriolus forsteni | LC | resident (2000) | present | A2 |
| Drab Whistler Pachycephala griseonota | LC | resident (2000) | present | A2 |
| Pale Cicadabird Edolisoma ceramense | LC | resident (2000) | present | A2 |

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.
