Assam, India, has launched the "HaatiApp" to reduce human-elephant conflicts by providing real-time information on elephant movements and damage, alerting villagers to take precautions. The app serves as an early warning system to prevent fatalities and negative encounters with elephants in areas with high human-elephant interactions. Developed by Aaranyak, the app is initially introduced in Goalpara, Chirang, and Baksa, with plans to extend it to other parts of the northeast.
