Asian elephant

This project utilizes AI cameras and thermal drones to establish an early warning system for human-elephant conflict mitigation, benefiting farmers by alerting them to nearby elephants, and ecotourism operators by guiding tourists to designated elephant viewing areas. We therefore aim to address human-elephant conflicts, promote sustainable tourism, support local livelihoods and conserve/build local values for elephants.
