The site was identified as important 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 List1	Season	Year(s)	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

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2004) may differ.

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.

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

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Energy production and mining	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	No management planning has taken place	Very little or no conservation action taking place	negligible
