  "account": "Similipal Tiger Reserve in Mayurbhanj district, Odisha, runs a network of about 220 TrailGuard AI trail cameras. The cameras classify humans, animals and vehicles and send images to a control room. Late on Wednesday 18 February 2026 the cameras detected a group of armed intruders entering the reserve. Field Director Prakash Chand Gogineni said the real-time alerts mobilized the Similipal South Division, three ranges and three Special Tiger Protection Force units. After about 24 hours of combing, at least 39 poachers surrendered. Nine guns, gunpowder and more than 20 bows and arrows were recovered. A case was registered at Jenabil Wildlife Range. Later detections on 11 April, around 24 July and 23 September 2026 led to arrests. Courts refused bail to the July and September groups. The camera count varies by source. The Field Director gave “around 220” in February 2026 and The Hans India “over 220” in July 2026. The Times of India in April 2026 reported 50 AI cameras in use, up from an initial 10, with 300 planned.",

The cameras classify humans, animals and vehicles and send images to a control room. Late on Wednesday 18 February 2026 the cameras detected a group of armed intruders entering the reserve. Field Director Prakash Chand Gogineni said the real-time alerts mobilized the Similipal South Division, three ranges and three Special Tiger Protection Force units. After about 24 hours of combing, at least 39 poachers surrendered. Nine guns, gunpowder and more than 20 bows and arrows were recovered. A case was registered at Jenabil Wildlife Range. Later detections on 11 April, around 24 July and 23 September 2026 led to arrests. Courts refused bail to the July and September groups. The camera count varies by source. The Field Director gave “around 220” in February 2026 and The Hans India “over 220” in July 2026. The Times of India in April 2026 reported 50 AI cameras in use, up from an initial 10, with 300 planned.",

The cameras classify humans, animals and vehicles and send images to a control room. Late on Wednesday 18 February 2026 the cameras detected a group of armed intruders entering the reserve. Field Director Prakash Chand Gogineni said the real-time alerts mobilized the Similipal South Division, three ranges and three Special Tiger Protection Force units. After about 24 hours of combing, at least 39 poachers surrendered. Nine guns, gunpowder and more than 20 bows and arrows were recovered. A case was registered at Jenabil Wildlife Range. Later detections on 11 April, around 24 July and 23 September 2026 led to arrests. Courts refused bail to the July and September groups. The camera count varies by source. The Field Director gave “around 220” in February 2026 and The Hans India “over 220” in July 2026. The Times of India in April 2026 reported 50 AI cameras in use, up from an initial 10, with 300 planned."

            "account": "Similipal Tiger Reserve in Mayurbhanj district, Odisha, runs a network of about 220 TrailGuard AI trail cameras. The cameras classify humans, animals and vehicles and send images to a control room. Late on Wednesday 18 February 2026 the cameras detected a group of armed intruders entering the reserve. Field Director Prakash Chand Gogineni said the real-time alerts mobilized the Similipal South Division, three ranges and three Special Tiger Protection Force units. After about 24 hours of combing, at least 39 poachers surrendered. Nine guns, gunpowder and more than 20 bows and arrows were recovered. A case was registered at Jenabil Wildlife Range. Later detections on 11 April, around 24 July and 23 September 2026 led to arrests. Courts refused bail to the July and September groups. The camera count varies by source. The Field Director gave “around 220” in February 2026 and The Hans India “over 220” in July 2026. The Times of India in April 2026 reported 50 AI cameras in use, up from an initial 10, with 300 planned.",
