The case focuses on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision (CV) technologies to solve a socially complex issue of human-animal conflict in the geographical regions surrounding the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) in Maharashtra state in central India. Due to an...
The number of attacks on humans by large carnivores has increased significantly (Extended Data Table 1) during the last few decades for almost all large carnivores. The left panel shows the relationship between the number of large carnivore attacks in the US and the number of visitors (hundreds ...
We aimed to identify which factors influence the spatial movement, distribution, and suitable habitats of wild Asian elephants, to examine the relationship between elephant habitat use and human–elephant conflict (HEC) incidents, and to explore whether HEC is caused by habitats preferred by elephants...
