New strategies leverage technology to proactively combat poaching. This includes the use of drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras to detect poachers at night, sophisticated sensor networks that alert rangers to suspicious activity in real-time, and DNA tracking of ivory to pinpoint poaching hotspots and identify criminal networks. These technological advancements offer a significant boost to anti-poaching efforts, providing rangers with vital information and enabling quicker responses.
