🌿 MAITRI – Bridging the Gaps Between Humans and Wilds

Seeing the unseen, protecting the vulnerable

🌍 The Problem MAITRI Solves

MAITRI is our comprehensive solution for preventing wildlife-human conflicts and ensuring safety for both communities and wildlife. The platform offers innovative features like real-time conflict risk prediction, where advanced machine learning algorithms analyze satellite data, weather patterns, and historical incident records to forecast potential hotspots.

When risk levels exceed safe thresholds, instant notifications are sent to villagers, tourists, and forest officials within affected areas. Additionally, MAITRI integrates crowdsourced wildlife sighting reports with intelligent routing systems, alerting users about safe travel corridors and high-risk zones marked on interactive maps.

Beyond conflict prevention, the platform also excels in community empowerment and tourism safety. It includes a dual-mode interface that serves both local villagers with crop protection alerts and SMS warnings in regional languages, and tourists with guided trail recommendations, nearest forest checkpost locations, and real-time safety protocols.

With MAITRI, whether it's protecting vulnerable farming communities from elephant raids or ensuring wildlife enthusiasts have safe safari experiences, you have the tools to safeguard what matters most.

⚡ Challenges We Ran Into

Building MAITRI wasn’t without challenges. Some of the biggest hurdles included:

• Frontend – Backend Integration: Synchronizing APIs with real-time geospatial and ML prediction data.

• Running Parallel Dual ML Models:

  1. Classification Model – For villagers, categorizing risk levels as Low, Medium, High.
  2. Regression Model – For tourists, guides, and forest officials to optimize safe routes and risk scoring.

• Real-Time Location Updates: Displaying nearby wildlife species and dynamically generating safe routes.

• Private Network Setup: Establishing secure test environments for sensitive data.

• Data Scarcity & Class Imbalance: Limited availability of wildlife conflict datasets and underrepresentation of “SAFE” alerts, reducing generalization in alert categorization.
