The paper presents
an innovative technological approach to ensure the sustainability of
state-controlled nature park hunting tourism and to protect wildlife. The
developed smart fire control systems utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and
advanced image processing techniques to prevent firing by activating the safety
pin in various situations. Through an integrated camera module and a minicomputer
from the Jetson family, animals can be detected in real-time, and various data
analysis techniques, along with object recognition algorithms, allow for
ethical intervention in many situations that are invisible to the human eye and
could be exploited by hunters. Particularly in various national parks, the
frequent reports of accidental or uninformed hunting of rare and endangered
species, especially during their breeding seasons, underline the importance of
this technology. Furthermore, hunters' preference for the most dominant animal
in a herd as a trophy poses a significant threat in evolutionary terms. This
technology contributes significantly to the conservation of wildlife while
promoting ethical and sustainable practices in hunting tourism. The study
addresses the development, testing, and implementation of this technology and
adds a technological dimension to wildlife conservation strategies.
