This increases the chance of surprise encounters with potentially dangerous wildlife like elephants and tigers. One woman he interviewed has since been killed in a tiger attack.<\/p>\n<p>The study reveals a worst-case scenario of deliberate human monitoring and intimidation. However, researchers say wildlife monitoring devices unintentionally record people without their knowledge in many other places &#8211; even national parks in the UK.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNobody could have realised that camera traps put in the Indian forest to monitor mammals actually have a profoundly negative impact on the mental health of local women who use these spaces,\u201d said Dr Trishant Simlai, a researcher in the University of Cambridge\u2019s Department of Sociology and lead author of the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese findings have caused quite a stir amongst the conservation community. It\u2019s very common for projects to use these technologies to monitor wildlife, but this highlights that we really need to be sure they\u2019re not causing unintended harm,\u201d said Professor Chris Sandbrook, Director of the University of Cambridge\u2019s Masters in Conservation Leadership programme, who was also involved in the report.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cSurveillance technologies that are supposed to be tracking animals can easily be used to watch people instead \u2013 invading their privacy and altering the way they behave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many areas of conservation importance overlap with areas of human use. The researchers call for conservationists to think carefully about the social implications of using remote monitoring technologies \u2013 and whether less invasive methods like surveys could provide the information they need instead.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-title\">Intimidation and deliberate humiliation<\/h2>\n<p>The women living near India\u2019s Corbett Tiger Reserve use the forest daily in ways that are central to their lives: from gathering firewood and herbs to sharing life\u2019s difficulties through traditional songs.<\/p>\n<p>Domestic violence and alcoholism are widespread problems in this rural region and many women spend long hours in forest spaces to escape difficult home situations.<\/p>\n<p>The women told Simlai that new technologies, deployed under the guise of wildlife monitoring projects, are being used to intimidate and exert power over them &#8211; by monitoring them too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA photograph of a woman going to the toilet in the forest \u2013 captured on a camera trap supposedly for wildlife monitoring &#8211; was circulated on local Facebook and WhatsApp groups as a means of deliberate harassment,\u201d said Simlai.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI discovered that local women form strong bonds while working together in the forest, and they sing while collecting firewood to deter attacks by elephants and tigers. When they see camera traps they feel inhibited because they don\u2019t know who\u2019s watching or listening to them \u2013 and as a result they behave differently &#8211; often being much quieter, which puts them in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In places like northern India, the identity of local women is closely linked to their daily activities and social roles within the forest. The researchers say that understanding the various ways local women use forests is vital for effective forest management strategies.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reference:&nbsp;<\/em><em>Simlai, T. et al: \u2018<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/26349825241283837\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Gendered Forest: Digital Surveillance Technologies for Conservation and Gender-Environment relationships<\/em><\/a><em>.\u2019 <\/em><em>November 2024.
