The site was identified as important in 2007 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
Greater Rhea Rhea americana	NT	resident	-	present	A1
Solitary Tinamou Tinamus solitarius	NT	resident	-	present	A1
Helmeted Woodpecker Celeus galeatus	VU	resident	1998	present	A1
Blue-winged Macaw Primolius maracana	NT	resident	-	present	A1
Helmeted Manakin Antilophia galeata	LC	resident	-	present	A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2007) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2007. The most recent assessment (2011) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Forest	very poor (< 40%)	very poor (< 40%)	very unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	very high
Invasive and other problematic species and genes	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Not assessed	Not assessed	Not assessed	not assessed

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
2004	Kai Rague	Reserva Natural - Privado	2

Habitat1	Habitat detail	% of IBA
Forest	Tropical semi-deciduous forest, Tropical semi-evergreen forest	93
Savanna	Savanna	3
