Key Biodiversity The peatswamp forest at the site is an important habitat for the globally threatened Masked Finfoot Heliopais personata, which is thought to be a non-breeding visitor but may, potentially, breed at the site. Previously, the site supported a small breeding population of the globally threatened Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus. However, the species is not known to have bred at the site since 1997. The site supports a rich lowland forest avifauna, with 29 globally near-threatened species, many of which are restricted to the Sundaic Lowland Forests (Biome 14). Of these species, the site is of particular note for Malaysian Blue Flycatcher Cyornis turcosa, as it is the only site in Thailand where it breeds. The site qualifies under criterion A3 because it supports one species (Masked Finfoot) restricted to the Indochinese Tropical Moist Forests (Biome 09) and 61 species restricted to the Sundaic Lowland Forests (Biome 14).
