AI-guided smart buoys preventing human-hippopotamus conflicts across Africa
Hippos kill 500+ people annually in African waterways. HippoBeacon's amphibious smart buoys use thermal AI and focused acoustics to detect and deter hippos—protecting both communities and one of Earth's most iconic species.
