摘要:
於1999年3月至2000年5月，在彰化縣二水臺灣獼猴自然保護區，進行臺灣獼猴族群及其他陸棲野生動物相調查，藉以評估獼猴數量，並對設立二水野生動物保護區提出規劃建議。
經由實際觀察及紀錄各調查路線排遺數量，估計保護區內約有三至四群之獼猴，且各群之活動範圍均橫跨至保護區境外。各猴群棲地之利用，則均包括闊葉樹林及開闊之裸露地或果園。
保護區之陸棲脊椎動物也累積為10種哺乳類、60種鳥類、15種爬蟲類及7種兩生類，其中包括多種數量稀少之保育種類。
由於八卦山脈適於獼猴棲息環境已被人為環境包圍，而成為一封閉族群，本地之獼猴族群應予保護。保護區為中、彰、投低海拔地景中僅存之少數天然林生態系之一，且為天然環境野生動物少數殘餘棲所，為中部低海拔地區應於優先加以保護之生態系。並應盡量減低可能影響野生動物生存之威脅，如棲地破壞、外來種、野狗等。

Abstract：
From March 1999 to May 2000, I investigated the Taiwanese macaque population in the Er-Shui Taiwanese macaque Nature Reserve in order to estimate the number of monkey troops in the reserve. In addition , I also surveyed other terrestrial vertebrate fauna in the reserve, for future use in the planning of Er-Shui Wildlife Reserve.
Through actual sightings of monkey and fecal remains left on the survey routes, I estimated there are three to four monkey troops in the reserve. Home range of each troop cover areas both outside and inside the reserve; habitats used by monkeys include both broadleaf forest and open lands created by landslides or agriculture.
The accumulated terrestrial vertebrate fauna in the reserve after this survey consists of 92 species (10 mammals, 60 birds, 15 reptiles, and 7 amphibians). Several rare species protected by law are found in the reserve.
The Taiwanese macaque population found in the Ba-Gua mountain range is in effect an insular population surrounded by man-made environments, and is in need of protection from extinction. The reserve contains one of the few remaining native broad-leaf forest ecosystem in the landscape , and is the remaining wildlife habitat in the lowland tri-county area ( Taichung, Chang-hua, and Nan-tou ) . The reserve should be given high priority for protection. Efforts should also be made in order to minimize the adverse effects, such as habitat destruction, exotic wildlife, and strayed dogs, on the survival of wildlife in this area.
