Nepal’s tiger conservation gets tech boost with AI-powered deer tracking

In the golden hours of twilight, as a tiger tries to hide its long shadows, a herd of spotted deer graze in tranquil oblivion. Every rustle in the bushes nearby prompts members of the herd to quickly raise their heads, look for signs of danger and then continue grazing. Yet they are unable to discern the lurking danger.

With a sudden burst of raw energy, the big cat comes out of hiding and attacks one of the deer in one seamless motion. The animal, the most favourite prey species of tigers in Nepal, does not stand a chance.
