Let me clarify some points here.
1. Most (about 2/3) of the rice grown in LV are free for the bird to feed on.
2. This year, we have increased the area of rice growing. So the rice available to birds are not less than last year.
3. Part of the project is to use the rice for funding raising. Money raised will be fed back into the project, which is mainly for habitat management. Although the amount of money raised this year may not be very high, we still need to test whether this is practical.
