In Valparai, Tamil Nadu, the dense forests of the Western Ghats meet sprawling tea estates, creating a unique but challenging coexistence between humans and wildlife.
From elephants and bison to leopards and bears, animals frequently traverse these fragmented landscapes, often leading to property damage, injuries, and even loss of life.
To address this, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department has introduced solar-powered fences with infrared sensors that detect animal movement, trigger alarms, and flash lights to alert people and deter wildlife.
Discover how these smart virtual fences work, the challenges of living alongside elephants, and the potential for better solutions.
