Human activities data in Wolong National Nature Reserve

Wolong National Nature Reserve (hereafter Wolong) is an internationally renowned giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) reserve. Meanwhile, the reserve is also a popular tourist destination in Giant Panda National Park. It encompasses two major towns, Wolong and Gengda, home to approximately 5,000 residents. Agriculture, tourist economy, and livestock grazing remain important income sources for the residents. Here, we combine ongoing survey data on human activity areas in Wolong and make two layers of major human activities in Wolong. The two datasets are human pressure and livestock grazing. Among them, the human pressure layer combines roads and settlement data. We use this dataset to reflect the extent of human activities in Wolong and as an important indicator to assess its interference with wildlife.
