Forty-seven property owners in Entebbe, Uganda were questioned about vervet monkey activities on their property. Our main objective was to investigate the interactions between humans and vervet monkeys in an agricultural area adjacent to a forest zone. Other studies have reported that farms located within 300 m of a forested boundary probably incur the greatest risk of crop-raiding. Two other factors that may in£uence susceptibility to vervet crop-raiding were also examined: the types of crops grown and the types of direct preventative measures used. The e¡ect of these two factors on vervet crop-raiding is not straightforward. However, the distance a property is located from the forest edge is an important factor in£uencing vervet crop-raiding. Surveyed gardens 200 m from the forest edge received signi¢cantly less crop-raiding than farms located 100 m or50 m(P 0.040,
