Mumbai to Get AI-Powered Bird Sanctuary
Mumbai is going to build a special park for birds that uses artificial intelligence.
This park will help scientists and visitors learn about different bird species.
The park will be near the water and will have special paths, towers, and gardens.
The AI system will track and identify birds in real-time.
The park aims to protect nature, attract tourists, and teach people about the environment.
The project has already been approved and will cost Rs 45 crore.
Mumbai will develop an AI-powered bird sanctuary in Bhandup, along the Thane Creek shoreline.
The 20.09-hectare park will have AI-based bird tracking and identification systems covering a 1.5-kilometre radius.
Physical infrastructure will be limited to 0.35 hectares to minimize human impact on the environment.
The park will feature a 2.16-kilometre mangrove nature trail, observation towers, and a butterfly garden.
The project aims to promote environmental conservation, biodiversity protection, and sustainable tourism.
