Over the past decade, 36 elephant deaths have been recorded due to train collisions in India near railway tracks. Elephants which are designated as National heritage animals of India are facing significant challenges to habitat fragmentation which is caused by human settlements, agriculture and infrastructure projects. In conclusion A.I. Offers innovative solutions for elephant conservation including enhanced monitoring, anti-poaching measures and reducing human animal conflict while having challenges like data availability and infrastructure limitations. AI’s potential in safeguarding elephants is significant, ensuring their survival for future generations when combined with traditional conservation methods and community involvement.
