Marking a major leap in human-wildlife conflict management, an AI-driven digital sentry system deployed across six high-risk forest zones in Kerala has achieved a near-100% success rate in repelling wild animals.
Market Context
First piloted at Mankala coming under Paruthippally range of Thiruvananthapuram, the ‘Farmguard’ units were later expanded to five critical forest fringes in Kollam, Thrissur and Palakkad during the last couple of months. Early reports from field officials indicate an unprecedented success rate in deterring wild animal intrusions, prompting Forest authorities to consider rolling out the technology to more hotspots.
