Fang Woei-horng says that IBA criteria are 1) endemic species, 2) degree of threat to survival and 3) population. Although at present only areas that overlap with the national parks and wildlife sanctuaries are protected by law, the announcement and promotion of the importance of the IBA concept will benefit the promotion of sanctuaries in the future.
方偉宏表示，IBA 的界定以特有種、鳥類生存受威脅的程度、族群多寡等為標準，雖然目前只有和國家公園、野生動物保護區等重疊的區域受到法律保障，但 IBA 的重要性經過宣示和推廣，將有利於日後保護區的推動。
