Aaranyak has unveiled two innovative tools: the ‘HaatiApp’ and a handbook on solar-powered fences to mitigate Human-Elephant Conflict (HEC). Aaranyak is a prominent biodiversity conservation organization based in Guwahati.
The ‘HaatiApp’, developed with support from the SBI Foundation, serves as an early warning system to alert communities about the presence of wild elephants near human settlements.
This mobile application aims to help villagers avoid potentially dangerous encounters with elephants.
Both the ‘HaatiApp’ and the solar fence manual are scheduled for an official launch on August 10 in Guwahati.
Both these initiatives represent a significant step forward in promoting human-elephant coexistence in Assam and the surrounding region, combining technology and practical knowledge to address a pressing conservation challenge.
