Authors - Md Imran Alam, Swagatika Sahoo, Angshuman Jana Abstract - Wildlife is a crucial part of our environment that must be protected to preserve various animal species and their habitats. Effective wildlife conservation faces numerous challenges, including securing funding, preventing illegal wildlife trade, protecting animals from unnecessary harm, ensuring proper treatment, and managing shelters for domesticated animals. Current solutions to these challenges are often centralized, making them vulnerable to corruption and single points of failure. The adoption of blockchain technology to wildlife protection provides secure tracking of animal medical records, transparent management of funding transactions, and real-time alerts to authorities regarding potential threats, all automated through smart contracts. This paper explores the theoretical and practical benefits of integrating blockchain into animal welfare systems. By addressing key issues like illegal trade and medical record management, blockchain technology can significantly improve the security and effectiveness of wildlife conservation efforts.
