The site was identified as important in 2023 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
Blue-winged Macaw Primolius maracana	NT	resident	2016	min 30 individuals	B1a

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2023) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2023. The most recent assessment (2024) is shown below.

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	likely in short term (within 4 years)	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Pollution	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low
Biological resource use	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
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A comprehensive and appropriate management plan exists that aims to maintain or improve the populations of qualifying bird species	The conservation measures needed for the site are being comprehensively and effectively implemented	high

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
1977	Reserva Biológica De Araras	Reserva Biológica	7
1977	Araras	Biological Reserve	7
1982	Área De Proteção Ambiental De Petrópolis	Área de Proteção Ambiental	14
1989	Reserva Biológica Do Tinguá	Reserva Biológica	84
2007	Area De Proteção Ambiental Do Rio Guandu	Área de Proteção Ambiental	3

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
