Site details
Site description: A reasonably undisturbed mosaic of mire and wet forest.
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 breeding species of forest and mire. Species of global conservation concern that do not meet IBA criteria: Haliaeetus albicilla (2-10 non-breeding birds).
Delineation rationale: Old area: 16500ha changed due to more accurate information on borders and size. /Robert Ekblom (2007-10-19)
