The site was identified as important in 2000 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
Rock Partridge Alectoris graeca	NT	resident	1996	25-50 breeding pairs	B2
Yellow-billed Chough Pyrrhocorax graculus	LC	resident	1996	40-80 breeding pairs	A3
Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria	LC	resident	1996	present	A3
Rufous-tailed Rock-thrush Monticola saxatilis	LC	breeding	1996	10-20 breeding pairs	B2
Alpine Accentor Prunella collaris	LC	resident	1996	100 breeding pairs	A3
White-winged Snowfinch Montifringilla nivalis	LC	resident	1996	50-100 breeding pairs	A3
Citril Finch Carduelis citrinella	LC	breeding	1996	20-60 breeding pairs	A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2000) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2000. The most recent assessment (2013) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Climate change and severe weather	likely in long term (beyond 4 years)	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Biological resource use	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low
Pollution	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Some of site covered (10-49%)	No management planning has taken place	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low
