    Solution

    HaatiApp is specifically designed as an early warning system to alert users about the presence of wild elephants near human settlements. This feature aims to promote coexistence and enhance safety by informing residents of potential dangers in real-time. The application was developed by Aaranyak, a biodiversity organization based in Assam, with support from the SBI Foundation, British Asian Trust, and the Darwin Initiative, indicating a collaborative effort rather than sole development by the state government or the involvement of the UN. Additionally, the app includes practical tools such as an ex-gratia application form for villagers to claim compensation for damages, further supporting its utility in conflict mitigation.
