The distribution of wild Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) and crop damages caused by them in and around Shimagahara Village, where the intensive extermination was carried out in 1979 and 1980, were surveyed by interviewing the local people in 1999 and 2000. The macaque population had not yet recovered in Shimagahara Village. The troop exterminated was distributed at a distance less than 10km from the neighboring one.
