Please enjoy a small map of the main part of Nara, where many deer interactions occur. From this map you can see all the essentials for sika deer survival including: wooded areas for cover and resting, field areas for feeding, and ponds for drinking. These sika deer also get frequently feed by tourists. They are given special deer crackers (Shika senbei) that fits within their diet! Regarding the map, this was very easy and great for beginners who are new to mapping or are afraid of ARCgis. It is essentially a "point and shoot" way of mapping, with simple icons to mark places, along with measuring tools, and ways to create roads or walking paths. This can be made as simple or as advanced as you want. With regards to my project, a simple map is much easier for those who were curious about how the deer in Nara park may live and move! Tourists are already overwhelemed as is, so why not make it easy to understand.

Check out this presentation! This will be presented to Hokkaido University next week to educate them on what we know and the plan!
