AI wall for Pauni proposed to handle man-animal conflict

Nagpur: On the lines of Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR), an Artificial Intelligence (AI) wall is being proposed for Bhandara to mitigate man-animal conflict. Forest officials are looking at Pauni taluka as the site for the pilot project, because of the increasing incursions of tigers into human habitat.The AI wall is basically a system of cameras set up along a predefined periphery, and when it captures a tiger on screen an alert message is sent to nearby villages.Rahul Gavai, deputy conservator of forest (Bhandara) said, "We are going to propose the AI wall concept to the District Planning and Development Committee (DPDC), as the funding for the same will be required."Gavai's plan has the potential to save human lives as the AI wall gives a ‘heads up' to villagers, who can then avoid venturing in that particular area.
