Site details
Site description: A mountainous area with Fagus and Abies alba forests, thickets of Pinus heldreichii and high-altitude alpine pastures.
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.
Additional biodiversity: This is an important site for large raptors and Tetrao urogallus (1989 data only, no recent data available).
