The original aim of the conservation project was to raise the number of bird species in the valley by diversifying wet farmland crops and reintroducing rice planting. However, in addition to rising biodiversity, extra benefits have been gained.

The community has become active in farming culture and education, and is regularly visited by numerous academics and organizations from across the world.
