Improved wildlife numbers disrupt farming

Days before feeding fish fry in the paddy fields, rice farmer Lei Binghua installed a loudspeaker in his farm in Southeast China's Fujian province.

With the sounds of wolf howls and dog barks blaring, the loudspeaker is part of Lei's arsenal to fight egrets.

"Egrets are protected animals. You can't shoot them. You just try to scare them away," said Lei, who has yet to come up with a better solution.
