The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2004 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
Sarus Crane Grus antigone	VU	resident (2004)	present	A1
White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis	CR	non-breeding (2004)	present	A1
Indian Vulture Gyps indicus	CR	non-breeding (2004)	present	A1
White-naped Tit Machlolophus nuchalis	VU	resident (2004)	present	A1
Green Avadavat Amandava formosa	VU	resident (2004)	present	A1

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2003) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
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%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low
