Tamil Nadu Launches AI Command Centre For Human-Wildlife Conflict
The government of Tamil Nadu launched an AI-powered Command Centre for Human-Wildlife Conflict Management in Gudalur, The Nilgiris, on Dec. 24, 2025. The system integrates satellite data, ground sensors, camera traps, citizen reports and 46 AI-enabled thermal cameras, using real-time tracking and predictive models to anticipate elephant and leopard movements. Officials say it will speed responses, allocate resources efficiently and issue early warnings to reduce casualties and crop damage.
Key Points
