A Paper on The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Sustainable Development
Abstract: The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its expanding influence across various sectors necessitates an evaluation of its impact on the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. Through a consensus-based expert elicitation method, it is determined that AI has the potential to facilitate the achievement of over half of the targets within all goals, but it may also impede certain objectives. Nevertheless, existing research tends to neglect crucial facets of AI. …

Impact of Marine Pollution Threats and Conservation of Marine Biodiversity
Abstract: Ocean occupies 71% of earth’s surface and is traditionally divided into four large basins including North and South Atlantic, North and South Pacific, Arctic and Indian oceans. In India we have a vast coastal area of 7516.6 km from Kolkata to Gujarat and also many islands including Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep with vast fin and shellfish biodiversity. Human interference and both natural and artificial factors pose the biggest threat …

Integrated Remote Sensing Indices for Assessing Pre-Monsoon Water Scarcity Vulnerability in a Semi-Arid Coastal Ecosystem: A Case Study of Barda Wildlife Sanctuary, Gujarat, India
Abstract: Freshwater availability fundamentally shapes the structure and function of dryland ecosystems, where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation for most of the year. Protected areas in semiarid regions face intensifying hydrological stress from climate variability, growing wildlife populations, and resident human communities, yet systematic spatial assessments of water scarcity remain scarce for many critical habitats. The Barda Wildlife Sanctuary in coastal Gujarat, India, has recently become a secondary home for the endangered Asiatic …

Animal Intrusion Prevent System: Using YoloV8 and Raspberry Pi
Abstract: The Animal Intrusion Prevention System employs advanced YOLOv8 object detection technology to address human-wildlife conflicts, a growing concern due to human encroachment into natural habitats. Featuring a Raspberry Pi mounted on a rotating head for 360-degree surveillance, the system accurately identifies animals such as monkeys, elephants, and wild boars in real time. Upon detection, it activates non-invasive light and sound deterrents to prevent wildlife intrusions, ensuring minimal harm to animals. …

Fringe community attitudes towards wildlife. The case of monkeys at Boabeng- Fiema monkey sanctuary, Ghana
Abstract: Understanding community attitude towards wildlife sanctuaries plays a pivotal role in conservation. This study assessed the factors that influence community attitude towards the Boabeng-Fiema Monkey Sanctuary (BFMS) in Ghana. The study was carried out during the months of May and July, 2018 in four fringe communities around BFMS. Data was collected by random household interview (N = 102) through semi-structured questionnaires and key informant interview. The study revealed that attitude …

From Battlefield to Biodiversity: The Evolution of Drones in Modern Conservation Efforts in Wildlife
Abstract: The rapid advancement of drone technology, encompassing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs), has significantly impacted various fields, particularly environmental management and wildlife conservation. Originally designed for military use, drones have now become essential tools in ecological research, offering a cost-effective and minimally invasive way to monitor and protect ecosystems. These sophisticated "eco-drones" have revolutionized data collection, especially in hard-to-reach and previously inaccessible …

Geospatial Assessment of Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary, Odisha: A Twenty-Year Perspective
Abstract: Among the recorded dynamic processes on the surface of the earth is the change in land use and land cover (LULC) pattern as an outcome of several anthropogenic practices. Planning, development, and management of land for sustainable usage of land depend on plotting and tracing the vagaries in LULC. Anthropogenic activity, generally for forestry and food production, is altering the land surface. The steadily diminishing landscape also has tragic implications …

Avifauna in Mahavir Swami Wildlife Sanctuary of Deogarh in Lalitpur District, Uttar Pradesh, India
Abstract: The avifauna of Mahavir Swami Wildlife Sanctuary has never been studied before. So the study was undertaken to get a reliable checklist of the bird species in the sanctuary. The reasons to carry out this study was to know how many particular species of bird are present and to have baseline information for the protected area and its bird species, that is poorly known. A total of 176 species of …

Environmental Pollutants and Biodiversity Loss: Analyzing the Role of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Ecosystem Decline
Abstract: Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) significantly impact biodiversity, with various factors influencing their effects on species and ecosystems. Species in poor body condition, like carnivores and predators, are more vulnerable to POPs due to weakened immune systems and reduced detoxification abilities. Dietary habits also affect the accumulation of POPs, as chemicals biomagnify up the food chain. Carnivores accumulate higher concentrations, leading to reproductive failures, hormonal imbalances, and death, while herbivores face …

A Conceptual Framework for Safeguarding Endangered Animals Through Wireless Body Sensor Networks
Abstract: Since life began on Earth, incalculable creatures have come back and gone, rendered extinct by naturally dynamical physical and biological conditions. Though extinctions occur naturally, scientific proof strongly indicates that this rate of extinction is far on top of the natural or background rate of the past. The main reason driving this higher rate of loss is habitat loss. Over-exploitation of wildlife for profit-making purposes, the rough guide of destructive …

Use of PIC16f877/874 in Pneumatically Powered Net Gun
Abstract: It is critical to have capture crews who understand wild animal behaviour. This allows for captures without excessive chase time as well as fast and efficient processing. Animals that have been subjected to long and stressful chases before capture or that have been subjected to harassment and lengthy restraint and processing experiences are more likely to suffer health complications. Biological data will often be unusable. Animals may disperse in search …
