Protection of the Farmland Green Tree Frog Bamboo Farmers Halt Use of Chemicals

Beishi Village, Dalin Township, Chiayi County has the highest density of the Farmland Green Tree Frogs in Taiwan.  The frog exists at a height of 1 to 50 meters above sea level and requires a particularly clean environment, devoid of the slightest pollution in order to survive. In an effort to safeguard the Farmland Green Tree Frog, local bamboo farmers are vigorously negotiating a comprehensive plan to halt the use of agricultural chemicals.

Although without the use of agricultural chemicals the leaves appears rather unsightly, and the bamboo shoots a little smaller, however using these natural cultivation techniques has turned this piece of bamboo forest into a tree frog paradise, demonstrating how farmers and nature can coexist together.

嘉義大林的北勢村是全台灣諸羅樹蛙密度最高的地區，諸羅樹蛙分布在海拔1到50公尺左右，由於諸羅樹蛙必須在水源乾淨的環境下生存，一點農藥污染都不能有，當地的筍農為了保護樹蛙，正積極協調，計畫全面停用農藥。雖然竹葉因為沒有使用農藥而使得葉子看起來斑駁，竹筍也長得比較小一點點，但是自然有機的栽培方法，讓這片竹林成了諸羅樹蛙棲息的天堂，也充分展現農民與自然的共榮共存。
