Serra do Tabuleiro State Park


IBA Justification

The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2024 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
Yellow-browed Woodpecker Piculus aurulentus NT resident (2016) min 30 birds B1a
Russet-winged Spadebill Platyrinchus leucoryphus VU resident (2015–2023) 30–308 birds A1

IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2024. The most recent assessment (2024) is shown below.

Whole site assessed? State assessed by Accuracy of information
no habitat medium

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat Timing Scope Severity Result
Residential and commercial development happe­ning now some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations) medium
Natural system modifications past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting some of popul­ation/area (10–49%) moderate decline (10–30% 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(50–90%) covered (including the most critical parts for important bird species) A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not compre­hensive The conservation measures needed for the site are being compre­hensively and effectively implemented medium
