Sento Sé / Campo Formoso


IBA Justification

The site was identified as important in 2022 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
Greater Rhea Rhea americana NT resident 2012 min 30 individuals B1a
Yellow-legged Tinamou Crypturellus noctivagus NT resident 2020 min 30 individuals B1a
White-browed Guan Penelope jacucaca VU resident 2012 min 30 individuals A1
Hooded Visorbearer Augastes lumachella NT resident 2012-2022 min 30 individuals B1a
Rufous-vented Ground-cuckoo Neomorphus geoffroyi VU resident 2007-2022 min 30 individuals A1
Lear's Macaw Anodorhynchus leari EN resident 2012-2022 min 2 individuals A1
Blue-winged Macaw Primolius maracana NT resident 2012 min 30 individuals B1a

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2022) may differ.


IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2022. The most recent assessment (2022) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment State Pressure Response
2022 favourable medium low
Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
yes habitat medium

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat Quantity (% remaining) Quality (% carrying capacity) Result
Forest good (> 90%) good (> 90%) favourable
Rocky areas (eg. inland cliffs, mountain peaks) good (> 90%) good (> 90%) favourable

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%) slow but significant deterioration medium
Biological resource use happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Energy production and mining happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low
Natural system modifications happening now small area/few individuals (<10%) slow but significant deterioration low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas Management plan Other action Result
Most of site (50-90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species) A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive Some limited conservation initiatives are in place low
