        abstract = {Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is becoming increasingly common all over the globe, occurring whenever human activities overlap with wildlife habitats. Confrontations with wildlife, like elephants, usually translate into crop raiding, damage to property, and even mortality, impacting people and conservation both.
This project employs cutting-edge drone and IoT technology to identify wild elephants in real-time through GPS and high-resolution imaging, including infrared cameras. When detected, the system triggers a piezoelectric buzzer to produce a deterrent sound, warning surrounding people and deterring elephants from human habitation.
Automatic alerts with accurate GPS coordinates are provided to local people and wildlife authorities to ensure quick and coordinated response to reduce human-wildlife conflicts. The solution prevents human loss of life, crop loss, and property damage while encouraging the coexistence of humans and wildlife.},
