13 Paired sample design Control ricefield Esperimental ricefiled canal

14 Variation of the number of Amphibians (frog tadpoles)
in control and experimental ricefields and in canals

15 Variation of the number of mosquito larvae
in control and experimental ricefields and in canals

16 Results Experimental ricefields hosted more invertebrates and Amphibians than control ricefields. Experimental ricefields with the canal had 44% less mosquito larvae than control ricefields without the canal.

21 In conclusion: Are there common ideas about the recovery/maintenance of the biodiversity value of rice cultivation ? How can we achieve this goal?

22 Focus area of the program:
The Action Programme Proposal for a working plan to define a common program Focus area of the program: Agriculture: agricultural techniques biodiversity-friendly Scientific research: the state of art of knowledge about biodiversity in rice fields Rural Development: the role of biodiversity in Rural Development Governance: Improve the design and management of agricultural policies related to biodiversity
