        abstract = {Human wildlife conflict is a problem especially when leopards enter villages and areas from forest. This makes people feel unsafe. We have made a low-cost system to detect animals early and send alerts. The system uses sensor to detect objects and an MQ-135 gas sensor to smell the air. These sensors are connected to an Arduino Uno microcontroller. When something is detected within 100 cm or the air smell changes the system makes a buzzer sound, a light flash and a motor moves to alert people and scare animals away. We tested the system. It worked well in controlled conditions. This system can help protect farms and villages. It needs to be more accurate and work better in different environments. In the future we can make it recognize animals using AI and add communication. The system is a start for keeping people safe in rural areas from wild animals, like leopards. It is cheap, can be used in many places.},
