Which of the following states introduced India’s first AI Powered Real Time Forest alert
system in May 2025?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Karnataka
Explanation:
· In May 2025, Karnataka introduced India’s first AI-powered Real-Time Forest Alert System to enhance the protection of its vast forest cover and wildlife.
· The system utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and satellite imagery to detect and flag instances of illegal logging, forest encroachment, and potential fire outbreaks in remote forest areas with minimal human intervention.
· This technology provides instant alerts to forest department personnel, allowing for much faster response times and proactive intervention, thereby reducing damage and loss.
· The initiative is part of Karnataka's push toward using technology for environmental conservation and sustainable forest management.
Information Booster:
· The system uses machine learning models trained on years of historical data to minimize false alarms.
· Karnataka is home to significant biodiversity hotspots, including the Western Ghats, making effective monitoring crucial.
Additional Knowledge:
· Project Tiger: India's conservation program launched in 1973 to protect tigers; Karnataka is home to several major tiger reserves.
· The system helps in providing precise geospatial data (location and time) of disturbances, essential for legal action and evidence gathering.
