The issue of animal attacks is increasingly concerning for rural populations and forestry workers. To track the movement of wild animals, surveillance cameras and drones are often employed. However, an efficient model is required to detect the animal type, monitor its locomotion and provide its location information. Alert messages can then be sent to ensure the safety of people and foresters. While computer vision and machine learning-based approaches are frequently used for animal detection, they are often expensive and complex, making it difficult to achieve satisfactory results. This project presents a Hybrid Visual Geometry Group (VGG)−19+ Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) network to detect animals and generate alerts based on their activity. These alerts are sent to the local forest office as a Short Message Service (SMS) to allow for immediate response. The proposed model exhibits great improvements in model performance, with an average classification accuracy of 98%, a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 77.2%, and a Frame Per Second (FPS) of 170. The model was tested both qualitatively and quantitatively using 40, 000images from three different benchmark datasets with 25 classes and achieved a mean accuracy and precision of above 98%. This model is a reliable solution for providing accurate animal-based information and protecting human lives
