## Title: Experimental games and questionnaire survey for understanding conservation conflicts in Gabon, Scotland, Madagascar and Kenya (H2020 European Research Council grant no. 67965)

This archive consists of (a) primary dataset and (b) accompanying documents for “experimental games and household questionnaire survey' segment of the data for the ConFooBio project (https://sti-cs.org/confoobio/). ConFooBio is focussed on the resolution of conflicts between food security and biodiversity conservation under uncertainty. The experimental games were designed to evaluate the impacts of conflict interventions on farmer behaviour. The accompanying survey was designed to provide background information on household’s socio-demographics, livelihoods and assets, and trust and equity attitudes. We collected data on three conservation conflicts case studies in four countries (Scotland, Gabon, Madagascar and Kenya) with a total of 716 households.
