The site was identified as important in 2008 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Caucasian Snowcock Tetraogallus caucasicus	LC	resident	2006-2007	50 breeding pairs	A2, A3
Caucasian Grouse Lyrurus mlokosiewiczi	NT	resident	2006-2007	50-100 breeding pairs	A1, A2, A3
Bearded Vulture Gypaetus barbatus	NT	breeding	2006-2007	2-5 breeding pairs	B2
Yellow-billed Chough Pyrrhocorax graculus	LC	resident	2006-2007	100 breeding pairs	A3
Wallcreeper Tichodroma muraria	LC	breeding	2006-2007	5-10 breeding pairs	A3
Great Rosefinch Carpodacus rubicilla	LC	resident	2006-2007	1 breeding pairs	A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2008) may differ.

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.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	good (> 90%)	moderate (70-90%)	near favourable
Grassland	good (> 90%)	good (> 90%)	favourable
Shrubland	good (> 90%)	good (> 90%)	favourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	low
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	slow but significant deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Whole area of site (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	No management planning has taken place	Some limited conservation initiatives are in place	low

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
1986	Tlyaratinsky	Zakaznik (Federal)	100

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Grassland	Alpine, subalpine and boreal grassland	60
