Odisha: Debrigarh sanctuary deploys AI to track wildlife, detect threats

Bhubaneswar, Oct 13 (UNI) Authorities of Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary in Odisha’s Bargarh district have stepped up wildlife protection with an AI-powered surveillance system that tracks animal movements, detects suspicious human activity and helps identify forest fires in real time.
The system combines an e-Eye surveillance tower with 18 AI-enabled camera traps to strengthen round-the-clock monitoring and anti-poaching efforts.
Installed at Chourasimal and operational since December 2025, the tower covers around 70 sq. km within a monitoring radius of 5–6 km. Its optical and thermal cameras track wildlife and human movement by day and night, said Hirakud Wildlife Division Divisional Forest Officer Anshu Pragyan Das.
