        "summary": "Two fatal Sumatran tiger attacks in Riau's Pelalawan District have prompted wildlife officials to deploy traps, with a single young male tiger suspected of killing both a forestry worker's son and a 29-year-old man. The incidents highlight the escalating human-wildlife conflict in Indonesia, driven by deforestation and shrinking habitats that force critically endangered tigers closer to human settlements. With fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers remaining in the wild, authorities are working to confirm the animal's identity while addressing the immediate threat to local communities.",
