It is difficult to measure the agricultural damage caused by wildlife. Presently, in the Japanese rural areas, there is a clear understanding of the damage caused by wildlife; however, a statistical estimation of the damage is not available. Ensuring appropriate countermeasures is difficult without sufficient data. So, we examined a new method for measuring agricultural damage caused by wildlife. We surveyed the extent of damage by using a questionnaire. We then converted the extent of damage to the farm area into equivalent amounts of money for each village, by using a standard production model.
