IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2003. The most recent assessment (2016) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2016	not assessed	very high	low
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
no	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	some of population/area (10–49%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 generations)	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Little/none of area covered (<10%)	No management plan exists, but the management planning process has begun	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low
