Site details
Site description: A mosaic of forest and lakes with open agricultural areas in the valleys.
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: Important for breeding species of wetland and grassland habitats. Breeding species of global conservation concern that do not meet IBA criteria: Haliaeetus albicilla.
Delineation rationale: Old area: 11500ha Changed due to more accurate information on borders and size. /Robert Ekblom (2007-10-19)
