The site was identified as important in 2021 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
Crestless Curassow Mitu tomentosum	LC	resident	2014-2021	60 individuals	B1a
Large-billed Tern Phaetusa simplex	LC	resident	2008-2021	400 individuals	B3a
Southern Festive Amazon Amazona festiva	LC	resident	2008-2019	100 individuals	B1a
Southern Mealy Amazon Amazona farinosa	LC	resident	2012-2021	40 individuals	B1a

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2021) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2021. The most recent assessment (2008) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Biological resource use	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Natural system modifications	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Pollution	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Climate change and severe weather	likely in short term (within 4 years)	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high

Residential and commercial development	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
