Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2009. The most recent assessment (2008) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Energy production and mining	past (and unlikely to return) and no longer limiting	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	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
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed

Year	Protected Area	Designation (management category)	% coverage of IBA
1979	Parque Nacional Do Pico Da Neblina	Parque (II)	50
1989	Floresta Nacional Do Amazonas	Floresta (VI)	29
1990	Parque Estadual Serra Do Aracá	Parque (II)	41
1990	Reserva Biológica Morro Dos Seis Lagos	Reserva Biológica (Ia)	1

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Forest	major (>10)	Tropical lowland evergreen forest; White sand forest; Montane broadleaf evergreen forest
