Abstract: This paper is about maintaining the surveillance of the wild animals to protect tribal and vice versa. As we know, tribal people who live in the forest areas have threat from the wild animals. So we have proposed an idea in such a way that it helps in protecting the tribal people. The idea says that firstly the wild animals are caught or brought together and a device is attached to them. With the device, we can track them in the forest or in the surrounding area with the help of GPS concept. Once a device or the animal which has the device gets tracked, the information or the data such as the proximity distance is immediately sent to the web application designed for this project. Further it alarms the villagers or the tribal people and informs to the forest officers, so that they can be taken under control. There is also a camera incorporated in the device. This will constantly capture the video surveillance from the animal’s point of view. If there occurs any instance of hunting (human detection) of endangered animals or any wildlife, the images of the people who get captured in the video feed are sent to the web application along with the location of the device at that particular instant of time. Human detection will be done using Haar cascade. This will help us in locating the exact area of occurrence of hunting and take extra precautions for the animals in such areas.
