Earlier this year, the forest department introduced 12 AI-based cameras across the Palacode forest range to reduce human-wildlife conflict. Since the installation of cameras, forest staff have reported a reduction in conflicts with elephants, due to swift intervention and efforts in keeping wildlife away from revenue lands. In 2025, a total of 143 cases (since January) of elephant-related conflicts have been reported.
