The site was identified as important 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
White-crested Guan Penelope pileata	VU	resident	2006	30 individuals	A1
Buff-browed Chachalaca Ortalis superciliaris	LC	resident	2007	30 individuals	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

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2015) may differ.

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.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	moderate (70-90%)	moderate (70-90%)	unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Biological resource use	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
2008	Barreirinha	Terra Indígena	<1
2010	Sarauá	Terra Indígena	1

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Forest	Tropical lowland evergreen forest	major (>10)
