elephant deaths

Uttarakhand trials AI system on Motichur-Raiwala rail stretch to detect animal movement and prevent wildlife deaths, especially elephants and leopards.

"I was absolutely devastated and shocked by what I saw. Several elephants had been blinded, many had raw bleeding wounds on their ankles, and almost all of them had enormous tumours on their hips. And yet they were being forced to parade beneath the scorching sun, deprived of a proper home, food, and water.”

"When fitted to railway tracks, the sensors would track visuals, movement, sound, lights and other parameters before corroborating the inputs and feeding them into an automated algorithm."
