Indian Engineer Develops Free Wildlife Alert System After Mother's Bear Attack
After losing his mother in a bear attack in Kashmir, Indian software engineer Mudasir Ali developed Wildping, a free online early-warning system that alerts users about nearby dangerous wildlife sightings. Launched in October on the first anniversary of his mother's death, the platform allows people in the Himalayan region to report animal sightings and receive alerts to avoid encounters. Human-wildlife conflict has increased due to deforestation and habitat loss, with at least 50 deaths reported since 2023 in the area.
