The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation 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 List	Season (year/s of estimate)	Size	IBA criteria
Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca	NT	passage (1971–2003)	100–500 birds	A1
Red-necked Grebe Podiceps grisegena	LC	breeding (1971–1991)	300–500 pairs	A4i
Great Crested Grebe Podiceps cristatus	LC	resident (1971–2003)	50–200 pairs	A4i
Black-necked Grebe Podiceps nigricollis	LC	passage (1971–1991)	150–400 birds	A4i
Western Water Rail Rallus aquaticus	LC	resident (1971–1990)	50–300 pairs	A4i
Saker Falcon Falco cherrug	EN	passage (1971–1990)	5–10 birds	A1

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	most of popul­ation/area (50–90%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	high
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happe­ning now	some of popul­ation/area (10–49%)	moderate decline (10–30% over 3 gener­ations)	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Some of area covered (10–49%)	A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not compre­hensive	Very little or no conservation action taking place	low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 (management category)	% coverage of IBA
1958	Tokmok	Complex National Zakaznik Wildlife Refuge (IV)	37

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

Land use	% of IBA
hunting	100
forestry	3
agriculture	2
