Data Zone
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis | NT | breeding (2002) | present | A1, A3 |
| Wood Snipe Gallinago nemoricola | VU | breeding (2004) | present | A1, A3 |
| Greater Spotted Eagle Clanga clanga | VU | winter (2004) | present | A1 |
| Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni | LC | passage (2002) | present | A1 |
| Broad-billed Warbler Tickellia hodgsoni | LC | resident (2002) | present | A2, A3 |
| Giant Babax Pterorhinus waddelli | LC | resident (2002) | present | A2, A3 |
| Hoary-throated Barwing Sibia nipalensis | LC | resident (2002) | 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 (2014) is shown below.
| IBA conservation assessment | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year of assessment | State | Pressure | Response |
| 2014 | moderate | very high | very low |
| Whole site assessed? | State assessed by | Accuracy of information | |
| no | habitat | good | |
| State (condition of the trigger species' habitats) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Habitat | Quantity (% remaining) | Quality (% carrying capacity) | Result |
| Grassland | good (>90%) | moderate (70–90%) | moderate |
| Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Threat | Timing | Scope | Severity | Result |
| Invasive and other problematic species and genes | happening now | most of population/area (50–90%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | very high |
| Human intrusions and disturbance | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Energy production and mining | happening now | some of population/area (10–49%) | rapid decline (>30% over 3 generations) | high |
| Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats) | |||
