Site details
Site description: Unfortunatly during CEPF's Caucasus project there was not availability to survey this sites fully, especially during migration (most important period for birds here). Only 2-days very unfully observations took place at site in 2006 during summer, so some data were added on species population, but it is still insufficient.
Rationale for qualifying as KBA: This site qualifies as a Key Biodiversity Area of international significance that was identified using previously established criteria and thresholds for the identification of Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) and for which available data indicate that it does not meet global KBA criteria and thresholds set out in the Global Standard.
Delineation rationale: 2014-08-12 (BL Secretariat): centroid coords adjusted to 43°34'35'N 46°20'33'E and site area changed to (or confirmed as) 4800 ha (rounded), on basis of refined polygon downloaded from Spatial Database on Important Bird Areas of Russia 2014 (© Russian Bird Conservation Union, © Transparent World).
