Ricelands support more than 220 species of wildlife, providing valuable habitat

for millions of birds along the Pacific Flyway.

Habitat provided by rice fields would cost more than $800 MILLION to replicate

through the restoration of wetlands.  Just a few species benefiting from ricelands

include the Giant Garter Snake, White-Faced Ibis and Sandhill Crane.
