Research Abstract |
The objective is to assess the effectiveness of the regime of special hunting area (SHA) in Nishiokoppe village for wildlife management. The deer population in the SHA was considered as high quality population, which showed high pregnancy rate and large body size. However, the population size seemed to be getting larger and culling should be needed. It will be useful for the population control to divide the SHA into several fragments and set up the regional management goal in each unit.
