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
Nilgiri Woodpigeon Columba elphinstonii	VU	resident (2004)	present	A1, A2, A3
Nilgiri Chilappan Montecincla cachinnans	NT	resident (2004)	present	A1, A2, A3
Nilgiri Flycatcher Eumyias albicaudatus	LC	resident (2004)	present	A2, A3
Nilgiri Sholakili Sholicola major	NT	resident (2004)	present	A1, A2, A3
Black-and-orange Flycatcher Ficedula nigrorufa	LC	resident (2004)	present	A2, A3
Crimson-backed Sunbird Leptocoma minima	LC	resident (2004)	present	A2, A3
Nilgiri Pipit Anthus nilghiriensis	VU	resident (2004)	present	A2, 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 (2003) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Human intrusions and disturbance	likely in long term (>4 years)	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	slow decline (1–10% over 3 gener­ations)	medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification	likely in long term (>4 years)	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low
Biological resource use	likely in long term (>4 years)	few indivi­duals/small area (<10%)	no or slight decline (<1% over 3 gener­ations)	low
