Nagpur: Can you mimic the sounds of wild animals and birds ? If yes, there is a Rs25,000 per month job waiting for you at Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR). The hugely popular TATR is looking for a 'wildlife impressionist' who can educate tourists through Nath Shukla, field director of TATR said, "The wildlife impressionist will primarily work at the auditorium located near Moharli gate. Tourists who visit there will learn a lot about wildlife and conservation, if we can pass on that information in an entertaining way. Apart from this, we have many campaigns in which we visit schools and teach children about wildlife conservation. The wildlife impressionist will also play a key role there."With increasing tourist numbers at TATR, it is not surprising that such initiatives are being is the most sought-after tiger reserve for tourists in Maharashtra, and in the last decade, private resorts have upgraded their infrastructure in a big way to meet 'luxury' tourist demand. Now five-star level resorts abound in the area, which did not even have a three-star service category resort before tourists stream in and the number of tigers increase, TATR is re-inventing itself on both the 'front-end', where it deals with tourists, and the back-end, where it has to manage the vast had reported earlier about TATR looking to hire an 'Artificial Intelligence Officer', as it wants to make sense of the deluge of data.

In a first, TATR to have AI officer to collate data, chalk out response plan
1 2 3 Nagpur: In a first, Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (TATR) will get an " Artificial Intelligence officer " to help analyze data to both predict trends and optimize administrative efficiency. TATR is already using AI tools to get inputs about tiger movements near human habitat, but now there will be a dedicated AI officer to collate the deluge of data which streams into TATR and make it "usable". TATR field director Prabhu Nath Shukla said, "There is a lot of data which we collect, be it on tiger movement, or forest fires or ecological balance. But in the end, it's just data, hence there is a need to convert it into reports which will help us predict certain trends and adapt our response to events in a more efficient way." Shukla, who is known to be a "hands-on" official, said technology has to be used to optimize the forest department's resources. The TATR AI officer, who will be hired on contractual basis, will oversee Al-driven wildlife monitoring, ecological data analysis, and predictive modelling for habitat management. Department wants the AI officer to optimize the existing automated surveillance and support research with AI-powered analytics. Shukla said, "We have a system in place where messages are sent to mobile phone users if tiger movement is observed by cameras in their vicinity." This was also referred to as "AI Wall", wherein cameras detect movement, recognize the animal, and send an alert if it's a predator. Shukla said, "We want to take it forward in such a way that technology helps us offer faster and better responses. Even in case of forest fires, we want AI to help us predict and optimize our response." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Egypt (Take A Look At The Prices) Container House Search Now Undo The AI officer will be bolstered by support from a "GIS data manager", who will analyse spatial data and monitor wildlife landscape changes.
