World Environment Day | New AI Powered Solution known as m-Twiga, to Deter Human-Wildlife Conflict.

As the World Commemorates World Environment Day tomorrow under the theme “land restoration, desertification and drought resilience”, we have teamed up with Vodafone and WWF to create a new AI powered solution known as m-Twiga, to deter Human-Wildlife conflict.
m-Twiga is a cutting-edge 360-camera system which combines Internet of Things (IoT) and AI technology to detect and identify animals within the vicinity. When an animal is detected, the camera system reacts by sending out an SMS to alert the wildlife rangers of the animals’ presence and activate a deterrent, such as flashing lights or specific sounds to ward off the animal.
Human-wildlife conflict occurs when animals and people stray into each other’s ecosystems or compete for the same resources, leading to a negative result. The far-reaching impacts of climate change, and the ever-shrinking habitats, make the situation worse.
According to WWF Kenya, over 60% of the country’s wildlife live in communities and private lands outside Protected Areas, where human-wildlife conflict cases are most common.
Here is a highlight of m-Twiga, which has been tested in Kenya’s Mara Siana Community Conservancy.
