"Monkey Damage Can Be Eliminated": Changing Perceptions, Towards a New Coexistence Model
Japan Monkey Countermeasure Acceleration Office LLC proposes a new coexistence model between humans and monkeys, moving away from conventional methods focused solely on capture and deterrence, to eliminate severe agricultural and lifestyle damage caused by wild Japanese monkeys. The company aims to create a society where monkeys are not labeled as "pests" through tailored countermeasure designs, strengthened cooperation, and human resource development.

Our company supports "April Dream," which aims to make April 1st a day to announce dreams. This press release is the dream of "Japan Monkey Countermeasure Acceleration Office LLC."
Damage to crops and daily life caused by wild Japanese monkeys is becoming serious nationwide.
However, many local governments commonly face the challenge that "damage recurs" even after capture and deterrence.
Japan Monkey Countermeasure Acceleration Office LLC aims to solve this structural problem and realize "a society where monkeys are not disliked."
## Background of the Dream
Monkeys that once lived in the mountains now appear in human settlements.
They cause damage to crops and daily life, and in many regions, this is considered an "unresolved problem."
However, monkeys are inherently just acting to survive.
The current situation arises as a result of humans and wildlife living too close.
The dream of Japan Monkey Countermeasure Acceleration Office LLC is
to create a society where monkeys are not called "pests."
And at the same time, to protect communities where people can live with peace of mind.
## Current Challenges
Current monkey countermeasures tend to focus on capture and temporary deterrence,
and many local governments face the challenge that "damage recurs even with countermeasures."
Behind this are structural problems such as:
- Lack of countermeasure design tailored to the specific situation of each region
- Insufficient cooperation between administration, hunting associations, and local residents
- Difficulty in building a sustainable system
## Our Initiatives
We are not just providing capture support,
but focusing our support on "creating a mechanism to prevent recurring damage."
Specifically, we provide on-site implementation support such as:
- Countermeasure design based on damage situations and monkey behavioral characteristics
- Support for consensus building that connects administration, hunting associations, and local residents
- Human resource development through training sessions and on-site guidance
- Establishment of sustainable operational systems in the community
## Society We Want to Realize
Our goal is to create a society where
monkeys are not excluded, but where coexistence is possible.
- People can live safely
- Agricultural and living environment damage does not occur
- Monkeys can live in their original habitats
Making these conditions "normal" is our goal.
## As April Dream
This dream is not an ideal theory but a feasible one.
In some areas, damage has already been reduced through continuous countermeasures tailored to the region.
