Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2015 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White-crested Guan Penelope pileata | VU | resident (2006) | 30 birds | A1 |
| Buff-browed Chachalaca Ortalis superciliaris | LC | resident (2007) | 30 birds | A1 |
| Belem Curassow Crax pinima | CR | resident (-) | present | A1 |
| Black-winged Trumpeter Psophia obscura | CR | resident (-) | present | A1 |
| Eastern Red-necked Araçari Pteroglossus bitorquatus | NT | resident (-) | present | A1 |
| Pearly Parakeet Pyrrhura lepida | VU | resident (2007) | 30 birds | A1 |
| Golden Parakeet Guaruba guarouba | VU | resident (2006) | present | A1 |
Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2015. The most recent assessment (2017) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2017 | poor | high | very low |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | habitat | unknown | |
| 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 |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Biological resource use | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | medium |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
