The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2007 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
Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus	LC	breeding (1998)	4 pairs	C6
Hen Harrier Circus cyaneus	LC	breeding (2004)	10 pairs	B2, C6

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2007. The most recent assessment (2013) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Energy production and mining	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Some of area covered (10–49%)	No management plan exists, but the management planning process has begun	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
1994	SLIEVE BEAGH	Area of Special Scientific Interest (NI) (IV)	21
2005	LOUGH CORRY	Area of Special Scientific Interest (NI) (IV)	<1
2012	Carnmore	Area of Special Scientific Interest (NI) (IV)	<1
