The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2006 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
Egyptian Nightjar Caprimulgus aegyptius	LC	breeding (2006)	common	A3
Asian Houbara Chlamydotis macqueenii	VU	breeding (2006)	2–32 adults	A1, A3
Greater Sandplover Charadrius leschenaultii	LC	breeding (2006)	present	A3
Turkestan Ground-jay Podoces panderi	LC	resident (2006)	1–10 adults	A3
Streaked Scrub-warbler Scotocerca inquieta	LC	resident (2006)	1–10 adults	A3
Asian Desert Warbler Curruca nana	LC	breeding (2006)	1–6 adults	A3

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2006. The most recent assessment (2006) is shown below.
