Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-powered intelligent animal protection system designed to predict heat stress and automatically regulate environmental conditions to improve animal welfare during periods of elevated temperature. The system integrates renewable energy harvesting with an intelligent monitoring and control framework, enabling continuous operation without depending solely on an external power supply. Environmental sensors collect real-time information such as ambient temperature, relative humidity, air quality, and light intensity, while animal health sensors monitor physiological parameters including body temperature, heart rate, and activity level. The acquired data are processed through a prediction engine that evaluates the likelihood and severity of heat stress by considering both environmental conditions and the physiological state of the animal. Based on the prediction results, a decision- making module automatically activates appropriate climate control mechanisms, including cooling fans, water misting systems, ventilation units, shade control devices, and sprinklers, to maintain a safe and comfortable habitat. The system further supports wireless communication for remote monitoring, event notifications, and historical data storage, allowing caregivers to supervise animal conditions in real time. By combining self-powered operation, continuous monitoring, predictive analysis, and automated climate regulation within a single integrated platform, the invention reduces manual intervention, improves energy efficiency, enhances operational reliability, and minimizes the risk of heat-related illnesses. The proposed system is suitable for deployment in zoos, wildlife sanctuaries, animal rehabilitation centres, conservation parks, livestock facilities, and other environments where effective thermal management is essential for protecting animal health and welfare.
