Tigers Majestic predators of the wild
0:09
face the threat of
0:11
Extinction but how do we protect what we
0:14
cannot
0:15
see modern technology has revolutionized
0:19
the way we track and monitor tiger
0:21
populations offering New Hope for their
0:24
conservation tracking tigers in their
0:27
natural habitat has always been a Bor in
0:31
task these elusive creatures roam vast
0:34
territories often in dense forests or
0:37
rugged
0:39
terrains traditional methods of
0:41
population estimation were time
0:43
consuming labor intensive and often
0:47
inaccurate enter the era of high-tech
0:51
conservation one of the most widely used
0:54
Technologies is the camera
0:56
trap these motion activated cameras
1:00
are strategically placed through our
1:02
tiger
1:03
habitats when a tiger passes by the
1:06
camera captures high resolution images
1:09
or video
1:10
footage this noninvasive method allows
1:15
researchers to identify individual
1:18
Tigers based on their unique stripe
1:20
patterns much like human
1:23
fingerprints by analyzing these images
1:27
scientists can estimate population sizes
1:30
track movement patterns and even monitor
1:33
the health of individual
1:35
animals gp's colors represent another
1:38
leap forward in Tiger
1:40
tracking these colors fitted on select
1:43
Tigers transmit location data via
1:47
satellite this technology provides
1:49
realtime information on tiger movements
1:53
helping
1:53
researchers understand their range
1:56
behavior and habitat preferences
2:00
the data collected is crucial for
2:02
identifying critical areas for
2:04
protection and managing human tiger
2:08
conflict DNA analysis has emerged as a
2:12
powerful tool in Tiger
2:15
conservation by collecting and analyzing
2:18
genetic material from scat hair or other
2:21
biological samples scientists can
2:24
identify individual Tigers determine
2:27
familiar relationships and estimate
2:30
population
2:31
sizes this method is particularly useful
2:35
in areas where visual observation is
2:38
challenging drone technology is the
2:40
latest addition to the tiger tracker
2:43
toolkit equipped with high resolution
2:46
cameras and thermal imaging sensors
2:49
drones can survey large areas quickly
2:52
and
2:53
efficiently they are especially valuable
2:55
for monitoring tigers in inaccessible
2:58
terrains or or during adverse weather
3:02
conditions drones also help in anti-
3:05
poaching efforts by providing aerial
3:07
surveillance of protected
3:09
areas these technological advancements
3:12
have significantly improved our
3:15
understanding of tiger
3:16
populations they provide more accurate
3:19
population estimates help identify
3:22
threats and inform conservation
3:25
strategies for instance data from gp's
3:28
colors can reveal corridors used by
3:31
tigers allowing conservationists to
3:34
protect these crucial Pathways between
3:38
habitants moreover the use of technology
3:42
has made tiger conservation more
3:44
efficient and cost
3:45
effective automated systems can process
3:48
vast amounts of data quickly allowing
3:51
researchers to focus on analysis and
3:53
action rather than data
3:56
collection the impact of these
3:58
Technologies extends Beyond just
4:00
counting
4:02
Tigers they provide insights into tiger
4:05
Behavior habitat use and ecosystem
4:09
Health this comprehensive understanding
4:13
is crucial for developing effective
4:15
conservation policies and ensuring the
4:18
long-term survival of tiger
4:20
population as we harness the power of
4:24
modern technology we gain a clearer
4:27
picture of Tiger populations and then
4:30
needs this knowledge is our most potent
4:33
weapon in the fight against
4:36
Extinction with continued Innovation and
4:39
application of these Technologies we can
4:41
hope to see tiger populations not just
4:43
survive but thrive in the wild for
4:46
generations to come
