In Madhya Pradesh, renowned as India’s “tiger state,” a team installs AI-integrated camera traps to reduce conflict and safeguard lives in a vital wildlife corridor home to 2 million people – and 300 wild tigers that have caused an increasing number of problems for locals.

India is home to 75% of the world’s remaining wild tigers, a comeback story that’s the result of Project Tiger, one of history’s most successful wildlife conservation projects. But a growing tiger population increases competition for space and pushes the cats beyond dedicated reserves and into human-dominated landscapes. There, they may hunt livestock or even attack people.

The forested corridor between the Kanha and Pench Tiger Reserves has the world’s largest population of tigers, sharing their land with 715 villages and settlements. To protect the communities and their livelihoods, Hrishita Negi has partnered with the developers of a game-changing solution: artificial intelligence. When a tiger triggers the automated camera trap, AI identifies the animal and sends a text notification to park rangers within seconds. They, in turn, put the community’s homegrown alert system into action, prompting a messenger to alert everyone to the tiger’s presence and give them time to protect their livestock. AI may become a tool that can be scaled to help save not only tigers -- but endangered wildlife worldwide.

credits : @karamsrivastava Tigers are majestic animals. You must have seen them scent marking their territory to protect it from rivals, but have you ever seen a tiger hugging a tree to show it's dominance? There are two huge, bold males in the Rukhad zone of Pench National Park, and both have been displaying very interesting yet unusual behaviour. In a show of dominance, both males tend to hug trees and rub their bodies against the tree barks. They have overlapping territories and in a bid to secure their area they regularly hug, rub and claw mark the same trees. This morning after 5 dry safaris, I was lucky enough to witness one of them showcasing this magical behaviour.
