| PCD joined with Yunnan Tengchong Rare Plants and Animals Protection Association in starting a number of little egret protection promotional projects, including encouraging villagers to reduce the use of pesticides that are poisonous to egrets. The project has been effective, as some villagers switched to grass and wood ashes, and raised the amount of irrigation to reduce aphid infestation, in addition, they also introduced fish culture in rice fields to reduce the use of pesticides. |
