Damage Control Strategies Affecting Crop-Raiding Japanese Macaque Behaviors in a Farming Community

Using only population control to manage crop damage by Japanese macaques has led to a case in which a troop that had not previously raided crops became a crop-raiding troop (Izumiyama 2010 ). Damage control mechanisms that keep troops away from the human settlement and reduce raiding activities (e.g...

Description
Summary:Using only population control to manage crop damage by Japanese macaques has led to a case in which a troop that had not previously raided crops became a crop-raiding troop (Izumiyama 2010 ). Damage control mechanisms that keep troops away from the human settlement and reduce raiding activities (e.g., using loud sounds or building fences) are required in addition to population management because of their species-specific characteristics (MAFF and MOE 2014).
