Reason
Although we implemented the pilot survey at Takasakiyama, we have not yet conducted the main questionnaire survey at Yudanaka.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Follow-up interviews to investigate how monkeys spill out into the town (need to ask about use of dogs & electric fences c.f. Takasakiyama); NP border & zoning issue: perceptions of Snow Monkeys IN or OUT of NP; reality = Cat. 2; Follow-up interview with MoE ranger = H-san; Follow-up interview with Enza cafe = Dutch L/T worker; Follow-up interviews with Shibu onsen = K-san; Questionnaire survey @ Yudanaka in winter 2020. 1 or 2 domestic & international conference presentations. Multi-lingual survey.
