The site was identified as important in 2010 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
Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca	NT	passage	1971-2003	100-500 individuals	A1
Red-necked Grebe Podiceps grisegena	LC	breeding	1971-1991	300-500 breeding pairs	A4i
Great Crested Grebe Podiceps cristatus	LC	resident	1971-2003	50-200 breeding pairs	A4i
Black-necked Grebe Podiceps nigricollis	LC	passage	1971-1991	150-400 individuals	A4i
Western Water Rail Rallus aquaticus	LC	resident	1971-1990	50-300 breeding pairs	A4i
Saker Falcon Falco cherrug	EN	passage	1971-1990	5-10 individuals	A1

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2010) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2010. The most recent assessment (2013) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Natural system modifications	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Some of site covered (10-49%)	A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Very little or no conservation action taking place	low

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
1958	Tokmok	Complex National Zakaznik Wildlife Refuge	37

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Wetlands (inland)	Fens, transition mires & springs, Rivers & streams, Standing fresh water, Water-fringe vegetation	73
Grassland	Humid, Mesophile grassland & tall grass steppe	13
Shrubland	Low bushes, Scrub	9
Artificial/Terrestrial	Arable land, Forestry plantations, Highly improved reseeded grasslands, Perennial crops, orchards & groves	7
