The site was identified as internationally important for bird conservation in 2008 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
Horned Curassow Pauxi unicornis	CR	resident (2007)	1,000-2,499 birds	A1, A2
Military Macaw Ara militaris	VU	resident (2003)	present	A1
Ashy Antwren Myrmotherula grisea	LC	resident (2003)	present	A1
Bolivian Recurvebill Syndactyla striata	LC	resident (2003)	present	A1

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2008. The most recent assessment (2014) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Human intrusions and disturbance	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)
Designation	Planning	Action	Result
Whole area (>90%) covered by appropriate conservation designation	A management plan exists, but it is out of date or not compre­hensive	Very little or no conservation action taking place	low

Habitat	% of IBA	Habitat detail
Forest	major (>10)	Montane broadleaf evergreen forest; Palm forest; Second-growth or disturbed forest; Tropical lowland evergreen forest
Wetlands (inland)	-	Rivers; Streams
