|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magellanic Woodpecker Campephilus magellanicus | LC | resident (2000–2009) | present | A3 |
| Austral Parakeet Enicognathus ferrugineus | LC | resident (2002–2009) | present | A3 |

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 | moderate | not assessed | low |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | habitat | medium | |

|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks) | - | moderate (70–90%) | moderate |
| Forest | - | moderate (70–90%) | moderate |
