IBA Conservation

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. The most recent assessment (2007) is shown below.

IBA conservation assessment
Year of assessment	State	Pressure	Response
2007	good	high	low
Whole site assessed?	State assessed by	Accuracy of information
yes	habitat	good

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)

Wetlands (inland)	good (>90%)	good (>90%)	good
Grassland	good (>90%)	good (>90%)	good
Artificial/Terrestrial	good (>90%)	good (>90%)	good

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
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)
