OITA, Japan
The Real Oita city government in southwestern Japan country is working to scare off farm-raiding wild monkeys using a drone decorated to look like a hawk --( their natural enemy) .
The Tanoura city district on the east side of Mt. Takasaki, where a one of the most popular monkey park is located, is known as a good producer of loquats, figs, & mandarins but has been suffering high damage to the products caused by rogue monkeys for years, according to the city #government.
Though the #effect of flying the drone remains #unclear, reports of farm damage have been #declining this fiscal year, according to their own city.
The city of japan will conduct about more then 20 experiments through March 2018 so that it can start a drone program in full swing in the next fiscal year after examining the effect, it said.
