<p>In low upland and other agricultural areas, agricultural damage caused by wildlife continues to be a major problem. Various manuals, research materials, and research findings indicate the importance of implementing measures at village and community levels to control such damage. However, typical village residents or farming households are unfamiliar with the techniques and methods used as countermeasures against agricultural damage caused by wildlife. Thus, social education and community support have an important role to play in the effective implementation of control measures. In agricultural technology, such education and support has traditionally been carried out by agricultural extension workers and Japan Agricultural Cooperatives consultants ; however, their role in controlling agricultural damage caused by wildlife remains unclear. In this study, we selected prefectures considered to have a strong focus on countermeasures against agricultural damage caused by wildlife and investigated the content, degree of involvement, and evaluations of efforts to create villages resistant to such damage. Progress has been made in creating such villages in prefectures that had designated individuals responsible for community support of countermeasures against agricultural damage caused by wildlife within centers such as regional agricultural extension offices. In contrast, in prefectures that did not have such designated individuals, no progress has been made in community support, and the impact of countermeasures against agricultural damage caused by wildlife was unclear. The results of this study indicate the importance of designating individuals responsible for community support of countermeasures against agricultural damage caused by wildlife in prefectural government regional offices.</p>
