Wildlife-Protection-Chain is an AI + Blockchain powered project designed to protect endangered animals like tigers, rhinos, and elephants.

Using sample images and videos (Pixabay/Pexels), the system can:

• Detect animals (Tiger, Elephant, Rhino)
• Identify their condition (Normal / Injured)
• Recognize environmental threats (Person, Vehicle, Plastic, Fire, Weapon)

Unlike traditional alert-only systems, Wildlife-Protection-Chain logs every animal detection event on the blockchain including species, condition, environment, time, and location creating a tamper-proof record of wildlife observations.

1. Upload Image or Video – User uploads a wildlife photo or clip.
2. Processing & Detection – The system analyzes animals, their condition, and surrounding environment.
3. DeepSORT Tracking – Animals are tracked across frames for more reliable monitoring.
4. Top 5 Key Frames (for videos) – Extracted to let users visually confirm detections and validate AI predictions.
5. Voice Alerts – If an injured animal or environmental threat is detected, the system plays a voice alert with the detected threat type and location.
6. Blockchain Logging – Each detection event is stored with:
   • Timestamp
   • Randomized Location (for demo)
   • Species (Elephant, Tiger, Rhino)
   • Condition (Normal / Injured)
   • Threat type(s), if found
7. Outputs – Users can download:
   • CSV report with all detection events
   • Annotated video showing detected animals and threats

• Endangered Wildlife Protection – Elephants, rhinos, and tigers face constant threats from poaching, habitat loss, and human interference.
• Transparency & Trust – Blockchain ensures every record is immutable and cannot be tampered with.
• Human-in-the-loop Validation – Key frame extraction allows people to verify AI outputs instead of relying blindly on automation.
• Sustainability Focused – Scales into conservation tech for long-term environmental monitoring.

• 100% of detections logged on blockchain for transparency.
• Top-5 frame validation ensures trust in AI predictions.
• Automated detection of threats (fire, plastic, vehicles, poachers).
• Real-time voice alerts notify users immediately when an injured animal or threat is found, with threat type and location.
• DeepSORT-based tracking improves consistency across video frames.
• Proof of concept with Pixabay/Pexels datasets.
• Scalable design for drones, ranger cameras, and IoT sensors.
• Note: For best results, upload high-quality images or videos with good lighting. Low-resolution or poorly lit media may affect detection accuracy.

• Frontend / UI: Streamlit
• AI/ML: Computer Vision (YOLO / Custom Image Classification Model + DeepSORT for tracking)
• Blockchain: Custom lightweight blockchain implementation for storing detection events (species, condition, threats, timestamp, location) in a tamper-proof manner
• Media Sources: Pixabay & Pexels (images/videos used for demonstration)

• Drone integration for live monitoring of protected zones using aerial footage.
• Expansion to detect more species beyond elephants, tigers, and rhinos.
• Advanced condition classification: Normal / Injured / Entangled (stuck in nets, ropes, or sharp objects).
• Enhanced environmental threat detection by training on more harmful objects (additional weapons, traps, etc.).
• Behavior-based monitoring: if a species is detected lying down for too long, trigger an immediate rescue alert.
• GPS-based tracking for precise location logging and intervention.
• Decentralized data sharing with NGOs, governments, and researchers.
• Mobile app for rangers to receive real-time blockchain-verified alerts in the field.

• Occasional false detections may occur due to limited demo dataset and variable image quality.
• Tracking (DeepSORT) works but is not perfect in all cases (e.g., occlusions, low light).
• Voice alerts are implemented, but may not be captured in screen recordings due to audio limitations.
• Current implementation is a proof of concept using sample media, not real-time field data.

✨ Wildlife-Protection-Chain demonstrates how AI and Blockchain can work together to create a transparent, scalable, and impactful approach to protecting our planet’s most vulnerable species.
