Data Zone
The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2008 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resplendent Quetzal Pharomachrus mocinno | NT | resident (1995) | present | A1 |
| Tawny-winged Woodcreeper Dendrocincla anabatina | LC | resident (1995) | present | A3 |
| Green-backed Sparrow Arremonops chloronotus | LC | resident (1995) | present | A3 |
| Golden-cheeked Warbler Setophaga chrysoparia | EN | winter (1995) | present | A1 |

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. The most recent assessment (2013) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2013 | not assessed | very high | very low |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| yes | unset | unknown | |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Agricultural expansion and intensification | happening now | most of population/area (50–90%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | very high |
| Biological resource use | happening now | whole of population/area (>90%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | high |
| Climate change and severe weather | happening now | whole of population/area (>90%) | slow decline (1–10% over 3 generations) | high |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Designation | Planning | Action | Result |
| Little/none of area covered (<10%) | No management planning has taken place | Very little or no conservation action taking place | very low |
