Chhattisgarh deploys thermal drone to track elephants, curb human-elephant conflict
Chhattisgarh forest officials are now using AI-powered thermal drones to track elephants at night, detecting heat signatures to monitor movement and profile individual animals. This advanced technology helps identify lone bulls, crucial for preventing crop damage and human-wildlife conflict. The drones also offer precise mapping and can be adapted for anti-poaching efforts, enhancing conservation and community safety.
