Site details
Site description: Lardge forest located on the flat uplands which are crossed by many small rivers and streams. IBA is located very close to IBA BS-023, but they have too different landscapes - so divided into two sites.
Rationale for qualifying as KBA: This site qualifies as a Key Biodiversity Area of international significance because it meets one or more previously established criteria and thresholds for identifying sites of biodiversity importance (including Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas, Alliance for Zero Extinction sites, and Key Biodiversity Areas)
