Social data on human wildlife conflict in ten rural communities of Marrupa, Northern Mozambique

This dataset includes the transcript of discussion group activities on Human Wildlife conflict, conducted with ten rural communities in Marrupa District, Niassa (Northern Mozambique). It also comprises the results of semi-structured interviews conducted individually in three of the ten selected communities. The ten villages were selected from a forest cover gradient running from villages with a higher forest cover to those within degraded forest areas and consequently low cover. The villages had similar infrastructure, soils, rainfall, and vegetation types. The dataset contains information on the occurrence of conflict with both vertebrate and invertebrate wild species, mitigation strategies, conflict seasonality and trends, but also its impact on agricultural production and livestock rearing. The discussion groups were conducted with six to ten people and the presence of the leader of each village, between May and July 2015. Data were collected as part of a project funded under the Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA) programme.

本数据集收录了在莫桑比克尼亚萨省马鲁帕区（北部）十个乡村社区进行的关于人兽冲突的讨论小组活动的记录。此外，还包括对十个社区中的三个进行的半结构化访谈结果。十个村庄从森林覆盖率梯度中选择，从森林覆盖度较高的村庄到退化森林区域及其低覆盖率村庄。这些村庄具有相似的基础设施、土壤、降雨量和植被类型。数据集中包含了与脊椎动物和无脊椎动物野生种类的冲突发生情况、缓解策略、冲突的季节性和趋势，以及其对农业生产和畜牧业的影响。讨论小组活动于2015年5月至7月期间，在六个至十个人的参与下，并在每个村庄的领导者在场的情况下进行。数据收集是作为一项在生态服务减贫（ESPA）计划下资助的项目的一部分。
