The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2005 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
Wattled Guan Aburria aburri	LC	resident (2003)	frequent	A1
Ochre-striped Antpitta Grallaria dignissima	LC	resident (2003)	present	A2
Fiery-throated Fruiteater Pipreola chlorolepidota	LC	resident (2003)	present	A1
Golden-winged Tody-flycatcher Poecilotriccus calopterus	LC	resident (2003)	present	A2
Olive-chested Flycatcher Myiophobus cryptoxanthus	LC	resident (2003)	present	A2

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2005. The most recent assessment (1990) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	rapid decline (>30% over 3 gener­ations)	high
Energy production and mining	likely in short term (<4 years)	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Forest	major (>10)	Tropical lowland evergreen forest; River-edge (river island) forest; Second-growth or disturbed forest; Montane broadleaf evergreen forest
