        abstract = {Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC) is one of the most critical challenges faced in agricultural regions located near forest boundaries. Rapid deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and increasing human population have forced elephants to migrate towards cultivated lands in search of food and water. This results in severe crop damage, economic loss, and threats to both human and animal life. Conventional approaches such as electric fencing, firecrackers, and manual monitoring are either expensive, ineffective over time, or harmful to wildlife. To address these limitations, this paper proposes an advanced Elephant Barrier System that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology with behavioral deterrent mechanisms. The system employs motion detection sensors and camera modules to identify elephant movement and capture real-time images. These alerts are transmitted to farmers through GSM or Wi-Fi communication systems. In addition, a sound-based deterrent mechanism generates high-frequency acoustic signals such as bee buzzing within the range of 3–10 kHz, which naturally repels elephants without causing harm. The proposed system operates using a microcontroller-based architecture supported by solar power, ensuring continuous functionality in remote areas. This dual-layer approach of detection and deterrence provides an efficient, low-cost, and eco-friendly solution. The system enhances farm security, reduces human intervention, and promotes sustainable coexistence between humans and wildlife.},
