Odisha Forest Officer Uses AI to Transform Forest Protection

Forest officers usually protect forests by walking through them and responding to problems.

In Odisha, this work is changing.

Nitish Kumar, a forest officer, is helping introduce more technology.

The effort is happening in the Angul Forest Division.

Artificial intelligence is part of this new approach.

Technology is meant to help officers work faster.

It supports, rather than replaces, people working in the forest.

The goal is to make forest protection more effective.
