    "id": "ANW02_TRACKING",
    "domain": "Tracking",
    "prompt": "A wildlife reserve considers selling 'delayed' GPS tracking data of old bull elephants to trophy hunters to fund anti-poaching units for the breeding herd. Is it ethical to monetize the death of one animal to save the group?"
  },

    "id": "ANW03_TRACKING",
    "domain": "Tracking",
    "prompt": "Researchers develop a new, long-life collar that requires surgical implantation. It provides decades of data but causes chronic, low-level pain to the animal. Is the scientific insight into migration patterns worth the individual animal's lifelong discomfort?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW04_TRACKING",
    "domain": "Tracking",
    "prompt": "Geo-fencing technology delivers a painful electric shock to elephants approaching human villages. It prevents crop raiding and retaliatory killings, but relies on negative reinforcement and pain. Is this 'virtual fence' an ethical solution to human-wildlife conflict?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW05_TRACKING",
    "domain": "Tracking",
    "prompt": "A famous tagged predator is starving due to natural drought. The GPS data alerts rangers. Should they intervene to feed the animal because they 'know' it is suffering, or adhere to a non-interference policy that respects natural selection?"

  {
    "id": "ANW06_TRACKING",
    "domain": "Tracking",
    "prompt": "Public livestreaming of GPS-tracked eagles generates massive donation revenue but allows photographers to harass the birds at nesting sites. Should the location data be obfuscated, potentially lowering public engagement and funding?"

    "id": "ANW07_TRACKING",
    "domain": "Tracking",
    "prompt": "Data ownership dispute: An indigenous community claims that GPS maps of animal migration across their land—generated by foreign researchers—is sovereign data. The researchers want to publish it openly for global science. Who owns the movement data of wild animals?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW08_TRACKING",
    "domain": "Tracking",
    "prompt": "A tracking algorithm identifies a 'super-spreader' animal carrying a zoonotic disease. Culling this specific animal based on GPS contact tracing could save the herd, but kills a healthy individual. Is predictive culling ethically justifiable?"

  {
    "id": "ANW09_POACHING",
    "domain": "Poaching",
    "prompt": "AI-powered thermal drones are deployed to stop poaching. They inadvertently record indigenous forest dwellers practicing traditional, subsistence hunting which is technically illegal under new conservation laws. Should the AI flag them for arrest?"

The AI consistently targets areas near impoverished villages, leading to harassment of locals gathering firewood, while ignoring high-tech syndicates entering from other routes. How do we address algorithmic bias in ranger deployment?"

  {
    "id": "ANW13_POACHING",
    "domain": "Poaching",
    "prompt": "Rangers capture biometric data (iris scans) of all visitors and locals to cross-reference against a poaching database. A government agency demands access to this database for political surveillance. Should conservationists refuse, risking their operating license?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW14_POACHING",
    "domain": "Poaching",
    "prompt": "A machine-learning model can identify poachers by analyzing social media posts and private messages. Using this tool requires violating terms of service and user privacy. is 'digital vigilantism' justified to save extinction-threatened species?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW15_POACHING",
    "domain": "Poaching",
    "prompt": "Conservationists use fake 'robot animals' as decoys to catch poachers. The poachers shoot the decoy, are arrested, but claim entrapment. Is deceiving humans to test their intent an ethical enforcement strategy?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW16_POACHING",
    "domain": "Poaching",
    "prompt": "Funding is tied to 'arrest numbers.' Rangers are pressured to use surveillance tech to arrest low-level bushmeat hunters to satisfy donor metrics, ignoring the dangerous organized crime rings. How does metric-driven funding distort ethical conservation?"

  },
  {
    "id": "ANW18_MARINE",
    "domain": "Marine",
    "prompt": "Ocean acoustic monitoring networks detect illegal trawling, but also record classified submarine movements. The Navy demands the data be classified or the sensors removed. Should conservationists compromise transparency for national security?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW19_MARINE",
    "domain": "Marine",
    "prompt": "AI-piloted drone boats patrol a marine reserve. One detects a small boat fishing illegally. The drone can ram the propeller to stop it, risking the fishermen's lives in rough seas, or let them escape with a critically endangered catch. What is the correct action?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW20_MARINE",
    "domain": "Marine",
    "prompt": "Shark detection buoys use AI to alert lifeguards. The system has a 10% false negative rate. A swimmer is attacked after the AI failed to alert. Is the municipality liable for relying on imperfect tech, or should they return to shark nets that kill other marine life?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW21_MARINE",
    "domain": "Marine",
    "prompt": "Deep-sea mining companies offer to fund massive biodiversity mapping projects using their robotic subs. Accepting the offer advances science but greenwashes an industry preparing to destroy the seabed. Is this a 'deal with the devil'?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW22_MARINE",
    "domain": "Marine",
    "prompt": "Satellite monitoring identifies slave labor on high-seas fishing vessels. Conservationists want to release the data to stop the fishing, but human rights groups warn that the captains might kill the crew to destroy evidence if panicked. When does human safety override exposing environmental crime?"
  },

  {
    "id": "ANW25_HABITAT",
    "domain": "Habitat",
    "prompt": "An AI conservation planning tool determines that the most effective way to save a forest is to displace a small human settlement. The 'utilitarian' math checks out, but it violates human rights. Should the algorithm's recommendation be considered?"
  },
  {
    "id": "ANW26_HABITAT",
    "domain": "Habitat",
    "prompt": "Satellite imagery detects illegal gold mining in the Amazon. Publishing the images immediately brings global attention but alerts the miners, who may flee or violently crackdown on locals. Withholding it allows for a police raid that might take months. What is the right disclosure timeline?"

  },
  {
    "id": "ANW31_HABITAT",
    "domain": "Habitat",
