Overview & Synopsis

wpsWatch is a mobile friendly web-based monitoring platform developed by Wildlife Protection Solutions WPS to support real time detection and response to threats against wildlife. The platform aggregates imagery from camera traps and CCTV systems installed in protected areas and uses artificial intelligence including the MegaDetector model and Microsoft Azure cloud computing to automatically classify images and identify potential threats. By filtering out false triggers and empty images which constitute a large share of motion activated camera data wpsWatch significantly reduces manual review efforts and accelerates decision making. When suspicious human activity or wildlife events are detected the system generates instant alerts delivered via SMS email or WhatsApp enabling rapid intervention by anti-poaching units. wpsWatch integrates with established conservation platforms such as EarthRanger and the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool SMART enhancing situational awareness and operational coordination. In addition the platform enables volunteers and local stakeholders to contribute by reviewing live camera feeds and reporting incidents. Deployed across dozens of sites globally wpsWatch strengthens anti-poaching efforts and supports human wildlife conflict mitigation by providing timely AI driven insights and proactive response capabilities.
