Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2005 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:Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2005. The most recent assessment (2011) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||

| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2011 | moderate | low | medium |

|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Forest | moderate (70–90%) | good (>90%) | moderate |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Biological resource use | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | no or slight decline (<1% over 3 generations) | low |
| Human intrusions and disturbance | likely in long term (>4 years) | some of population/area (10–49%) | no or slight decline (<1% over 3 generations) | low |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting | few individuals/small area (<10%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | low |
