- Automated Image analysis
This project aimed to reduce human-carnivore conflict by building a resilient boma for a vulnerable family in Hunyari village. It served as a model for other families, promoting stronger livestock protection. The initiative included community engagement on predator deterrence and sustainable building practices. The success of the pilot is inspiring others to adopt similar solutions.
