Two MCUs used in the collar are -Heltec Wireless Stick Lite ( based on ESP32 chip )This MCU has BLE 4 and LoRa module. Source.So, based on all the research I have done so far following are the major threats elephant population in Africa as well as in Asia.Illegal killing of elephants or poachingHuman-elephant conflictMusth or aggressive behavior of male elephantEnvironmental issues such as wild fire, drought etcMost, if not all of the above situations can be handled or avoided if park rangers or authorities are notified timely.? Mahout - The Elephant Collar with A BrainIntroducing Mahout a smart elephant collar with GPS tracker and artificial intelligence on the edge (TinyML)The collar uses two MCUs along with a Ublox GPS tracker and MQ135 air quality sensor. Every year, 100 humans (in some years it may be 300 people) and 40-50 elephants are killed during crop raiding in India. When elephants and humans interact, there is conflict from crop raiding, injuries and deaths to humans caused by elephants, and elephants being killed by humans for reasons other than ivory and habitat degradation.Elephants cause damage amounting from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars. Elephant-human conflict is a result of habitat loss and fragmentation. Studies on conflict between elephants and humans in Asia and in Africa have identified crop raiding as the main form of conflict. Study has indicated, putting elder male elephant in the pack help reduce the the aggressiveness in young musth elephants.Elephant-human conflict poses a great threat to their continued existence. There are several reported incidents of musth elephants killing other elephants, buffalos and even villagers. A musth elephant, wild or domesticated, is extremely dangerous to both humans and other elephants. While the cause of death is still unknown but based on the information we have so far could be due to environmental issues such as soil poison, lack of water."Musth" (Musth or must /?m?st/ from Persian, 'drunk') is a periodic condition in male elephantscharacterized by highly aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones. This money is the reason poachersWhile poachers are the biggest threat to African elephants, there are number of other factors which are playing big roles in reducing the numbers very fast such as environment, human-elephant conflicts and sudden aggressive behavior of young male elephants due to hormonal surges a.k.a Musth.More than 350 elephants died in just few months in Botswana in early 2020. More elephants are being killed than being born.According to National Geographic, a pair of ivory chopsticks can sell for several thousand dollars, and carved tusks can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In other words, about 10% of the population is being wiped out ever year. As per source, Poachers are currently shooting elephants at a rate of about 100 per day, or about 30, 000 every year. At current mortality rate this species will extinct by 2030 !Botswana is the largest home for African elephants (130, 000) followed by Zimbabwe.Poachers are the biggest threat to African elephants.

Today there are only 350, 000, which includes both savanna elephants and forest elephants.That’s a 97% decline in just one century. ? Save The ElephantsLet's work together and save the beautiful elephants using cutting edge technologies around us.? On Going CrisisAccurate estimates suggest that there were 12 million elephants in the early 1900s.
