The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2004 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
Sarus Crane Grus antigone	VU	resident (2004)	present	A1
Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus	NT	resident (2004)	present	A1
White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis	CR	non-breeding (2004)	present	A1, A3
Greater Spotted Eagle Clanga clanga	VU	winter (2004)	present	A1
Green Avadavat Amandava formosa	VU	resident (2004)	present	A1, A3

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2013) is shown below.

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happe­ning now	whole of popul­ation/area (>90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	very high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Whole area (>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	Unknown	medium

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
1955	Tadoba	National Park (II)	100
1986	Andhari	Sanctuary (IV)	20
