Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2014 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sulawesi Hornbill Rhabdotorrhinus exarhatus | VU | resident (-) | present | A1 |
| Knobbed Hornbill Rhyticeros cassidix | VU | resident (-) | present | A1 |
| Yellow-crested Cockatoo Cacatua sulphurea | CR | resident (-) | present | A1 |
| Yellowish-breasted Racquet-tail Prioniturus flavicans | NT | resident (-) | present | A2 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2014. The most recent assessment (2012) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2012 | poor | low | high |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | habitat | good | |
| State (condition of the trigger species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Forest | moderate (70–90%) | moderate (70–90%) | poor |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Energy production and mining | happening now | few individuals/small area (<10%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | low |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | happening now | few individuals/small area (<10%) | moderate decline (10–30% over 3 generations) | low |
| Biological resource use | happening now | few individuals/small area (<10%) | no or slight decline (<1% over 3 generations) | low |
| Transportation and service corridors | likely in short term (<4 years) | few individuals/small area (<10%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | low |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Planning | Action | Result |
| Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation | A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species | The conservation measures needed for the site are being comprehensively and effectively implemented | high |
| Habitat | % of IBA | Habitat detail |
|---|---|---|
| Forest | 100 | Dry deciduous forest (tropical); Mangrove forest (tropical) |
| Land use | % of IBA |
