Client:
Nestled near Nagpur, Pench Tiger Reserve is one of India’s most ecologically vibrant forests, home to majestic tigers, leopards, and rich biodiversity. The reserve is committed to combining conservation with data-led management to ensure ecosystem health.
Business Objective:
To overcome fragmented wildlife data and manual monitoring methods that hindered timely conservation decisions. The reserve sought a centralized, intelligent platform to unify, process, and analyze wildlife data—enabling real-time visibility and scientific planning.
Solution:
Valiance deployed WildlifeIQ, a robust AI-powered wildlife data management platform. The system consolidated data from camera traps, manual entries, and field reports into a unified ecosystem, enabling real-time dashboards, automated animal ID tagging, and trend analytics.
The solution was deployed on Google Cloud Infrastructure, enabling scalability, security, and real-time data analytics. Key Google services leveraged:
- Google Cloud Storage (Standard + Deep Archive): Stored massive volumes of image and video data, allowing long-term analysis and cost optimization.
- Vertex AI: Powered deep learning models for tiger identification, movement tracking, and herbivore density estimation.
- Google Security Command Center: Ensured data integrity and governance with advanced role-based access controls.
Outcome:
- Unified data platform replaced scattered manual and sensor-based processes.
- Real-time dashboards allowed proactive wildlife monitoring and resource planning.
- AI-driven insights led to better habitat management, waterhole planning, and targeted conservation actions.
- Efficient tiger tracking and density analytics supported ongoing research and long-term biodiversity goals.
- Google Cloud’s reliability and scale enabled seamless handling of high-volume data and field-driven use cases.
“WildlifeIQ has revolutionized data management in Pench—providing scientific insights on tiger movements, herbivore density, and habitat planning.”
— Sandeep D. Bharti, Assistant Conservator of Forest, Pench Tiger Reserve
