After the successful experience of this system in Jhalana, Sariska, Ranthambore, Mukundra and Jawai, now with this approval, the project will be expanded in important sanctuaries, and national parks and other conserved areas of the state.
This system will help improve the monitoring of various activities of tigers and other wildlife species. Also, it will help thwart illegal activities like poaching, arson, and theft of precious wood in forest areas effectively in an automated manner 24X7. This will increase the monitoring capabilities of the Forest Department.
