The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Rusty-margined Guan Penelope superciliaris	NT	resident (2015–2022)	min 30 birds	B1a
Hook-billed Hermit Glaucis dohrnii	VU	resident (2017–2022)	min 30 birds	A1, A2
Brown-backed Parrotlet Touit melanonotus	NT	resident (2017)	min 50 birds	B1a
Golden-tailed Parrotlet Touit surdus	VU	resident (2017–2022)	min 30 birds	A1
Ochre-marked Parakeet Pyrrhura cruentata	VU	resident (2015–2022)	min 30 birds	A1
White-eared Parakeet Pyrrhura leucotis	VU	resident (2017–2022)	min 30 birds	A1
Plumbeous Antvireo Dysithamnus plumbeus	VU	resident (2017)	min 30 birds	A1
Pink-legged Graveteiro Acrobatornis fonsecai	VU	resident (2017–2022)	min 30 birds	A1

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2022. The most recent assessment (2023) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	good (>90%)	good (>90%)	good

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%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Most of area (50–90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species)	A compre­hensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented, but these are not compre­hensive and are limited by resources and capacity	medium

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
-	Serra Bonita I	Particular Reserve of Natural Heritage (-)	-
-	Serra Bonita II	Particular Reserve of Natural Heritage (-)	-
-	Serra Bonita III	Particular Reserve of Natural Heritage (-)	-
-	Serra Bonita IV	Particular Reserve of Natural Heritage (-)	-

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Forest	major (>10)	Tropical lowland evergreen forest
Introduced vegetation	minor (<10)

Land use	% of IBA
nature conservation and research	major (>10)
