Smart Automated Animal Cages

WWF SUNDERBANS CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAMME: Sunderbans Landscape took the initiative of a Pilot Project in The Sunderbans Tiger Reserve.

In developing a Smart Tiger Cage prototype, the present problems that were addressed were:
 

• Presently there are two cages namely Trap cage and Transfer Cage
• During release a person has to climb on the cage to open the Gate
• Both the Cages are extremely heavy
• The animal is shifted from Trap Cage to a comparatively lighter Transfer Cage
• The Animals are quite often hurt inside the cage due to uneven finish
• During Gate Collapse the tail of the animal is susceptible to injury
• Delay in reporting of the Tiger trapped can cause harm to the animal
