Filename: Encounter_records_archive.csv Short description: Georeferenced encounters with tigers in the Sumatran study landscape B. Filename: Respondent_tolerance_data_archive.csv Short description: Tolerance scores and potential socio-ecological predictors for 2823 Sumatran respondents C. Filename: risk_tolerance_archive.csv Short description: Risk and tolerance profiles for 72 Sumatran villages D. Filename: McKay_et_al_Plos1_data set.csv Short description: Interview data on human-tiger interactions in the Sumatran study landscape 2. Relationship between files: Collectively the data were used to produce a manuscript published in Nature Communications: "Addressing human-tiger conflict using socio-ecological information on tolerance and risk". Maps of risk of tiger encounter were generated using georeferenced data in A. Questionnaire surveys were then implemented in 72 villages with 2823 respondents in order to quantify and predict people's tolerance towards tigers (B). The resulting profiles of risk and tolerance were combined for the 72 villages (C) to determine priorities for conservation intervention. Information from 154 interviews (D) was used to interpret the findings, and also formed the basis of a seperate publication in the journal PLOSONE (Tolerating tigers: Gaining local and spiritual perspectives on human-tiger interactions in Sumatra through rural community interviews) 3.
