Assam-based Aaranyak develops 'HaatiApp', an early warning system for human-elephant conflicts, launching on August 10.

Assam-based biodiversity organisation Aaranyak has developed 'HaatiApp' (ElephantApp), a mobile app that serves as an early warning system for human-elephant conflicts. The app alerts users about the presence of wild elephants near human settlements and contains an ex-gratia application form for compensation claims due to elephant damages. Aaranyak has also compiled a handbook in Assamese on solar-powered fences as a mitigation tool for these conflicts. The app and handbook will be launched on August 10.
