Description
Summary:Humanemacaque conflicts present a significant obstacle to conservation and management efforts inIndonesia. Long-tailed macaques, a species increasingly in conflict with humans, are often regarded aspests due to behaviors such as occasional raiding on agricultural land. This study aims to offercomprehensive insights into these conflicts by comparing data from two different sources and analyzingtheir spatial patterns to identify regions with significant conflict occurrences. Official records show alarger quantity of data, while online news supplements this. However, official records data quality varies,with diverse data formats and collection methods, whereas online news data consistently provideaccessible information over a longer period. Both sources exhibit similar global spatial statistical pat terns, indicating significant clustering. Local autocorrelation analysis identifies hotspot areas primarily atthe borders of Yogyakarta, Central Java, and East Java. Discrepancies between the sources are evident inthe High-Low class and the lack of clustering patterns in the western part of Java Island in official records. Despite similar spatial patterns, official records do not fully reflect the actual humanemacaque conflict. Standardized methods and interview surveys are crucial for accurately assessing this conflict. Citizenscience offers the potential for long-term wildlife monitoring, requiring systematic collaboration amongstakeholders to mobilize experienced volunteers. KCI Citation Count: 0
