With the support of Ucom, a new AI-powered monitoring camera has been installed in the Twin Lakes area, serving the conservation of the Caucasus Wildlife Refuge (CWR) as well as the adjacent "Khosrov Forest" State Reserve.
The new camera will enable 24/7 monitoring of hard-to-reach and environmentally sensitive areas. High resolution, day and night shooting modes, and artificial intelligence algorithms will make it possible to observe wildlife without interfering with the animals' natural life or disturbing them.
The artificial intelligence system can quickly record movement and unusual activity, enabling ranger services to respond promptly to illegal entry or other potential threats. At the same time, the gathered data will help form a more comprehensive understanding of animal movements in the area and changes occurring in the ecosystem.
"Today, technology can not only connect people, but also become a real tool for nature conservation. For Ucom, it is essential that our technological capabilities are applied in initiatives that create long-term value for Armenia’s nature and future generations," noted Ralph Yirikian, Director General of Ucom.
FPWC Founder Ruben Khachatryan emphasized: "Ahead of CBD COP17, Armenia must present real and innovative conservation solutions to the world. The integration of AI technologies in CWR together with Ucom proves that precise protection and monitoring at the local level are the foundation for global biodiversity conservation."
The application of modern monitoring technologies is particularly crucial in areas such as the Caucasus Wildlife Refuge and "Khosrov Forest" State Reserve, where Armenia’s unique ecosystems and rare wildlife habitats are protected.
This initiative is a continuation of Ucom's environmental programs. Through various projects, the company supports the implementation of technological solutions in nature conservation, contributing to biodiversity monitoring, enhancing conservation efficiency, and fostering environmental initiatives.
