The site was identified as important in 2011 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
Black-bellied Sandgrouse Pterocles orientalis	LC	resident	2005	min 2 breeding pairs	C6
African Houbara Chlamydotis undulata	VU	resident	2006	1-5 individuals	B2
Cream-coloured Courser Cursorius cursor	LC	resident	2006	min 37 individuals	A4i, B1i, B2, C2
Common Kestrel Falco tinnunculus	LC	resident	1988	60 breeding pairs	B2
Fuerteventura Stonechat Saxicola dacotiae	NT	resident	2006	690-1,130 breeding pairs	A1, A2, B2, C1, C2, C6
Berthelot's Pipit Anthus berthelotii	LC	resident	1995	common	A2, B3
Trumpeter Finch Bucanetes githagineus	LC	resident	1995	common	C6

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2011) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2011. The most recent assessment (2008) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' populations)

Chlamydotis undulata	8	8	breeding pairs	100	favourable
Cursorius cursor	4	4	breeding pairs	100	favourable
Common Kestrel Falco tinnunculus	60	60	individuals	100	favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)

Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Most of site (50-90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	low
