Deforestation and intrusive human activities have disrupted pangolins’ forest ecosystems extensively, leaving pangolins vulnerable to illegal hunting and other dangers. In light of these challenges, Hikvision has been working with partners to help protect pangolin populations in the Wuqinzhang Reserve in Guangdong, China, to provide intelligent video technologies that protect these renowned – and precious – guardians of the forest.
Hikvision provided an intelligent video system designed, in this case, for protecting these animals. The system integrates professional video software with dedicated functions including AI-equipped cameras that can identify this unique animal automatically. The system further analyzes nearby animal activity and monitors human contact with wildlife. Researches can now access large amounts of video footage to study and document pangolin living habits. These valuable materials currently help reveal and restore populations as they facilitate the work of researchers.
Hikvision’s intelligent video system allows for smart, information-based and real-time monitoring of pangolins. It relieves researchers from patrolling pressures and provides precious data for the scientific research of pangolins. The scientists are expecting more technologies to be used in the future of the Wuqinzhang Reserve to protect pangolins, so that more of the pangolins can thrive.
