In the Maasai Mara, escalating conflicts between humans and predators such as lions and cheetahs are a growing concern. We introduce an AI-driven solution that leverages satellite imagery to automatically detect bomas and cattle, as well as map their spatial distributions. This scalable and cost-effective approach empowers NGOs like the Kenya Wildlife Trust to design targeted interventions, such as constructing predator-proof bomas, thus mitigating conflict and protecting endangered species.
