Super excited for this WildMon project! Combining #ecoacoustics and #CameraTrapping to assess effects of community-led #conservation initiatives on #wildlife in Indonesia #bioacoustics #biodiversity #naturetech

It's happening!!!! @BirdNET_App package for R is out: github.com/birdnet-team/b… Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics

New paper on global acoustic bird monitoring out in PNASNews today! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 150k+ hrs of audio from Norway, Taiwan, Costa-Rica and Brazil Diel, seasonal, landscape, and national scale monitoring - but still emphasising the need for experts 🧠 in an ML 🤖 world

Testing AudioMoth for the detection of infrasonic elephant rumbles at Whipsnade Zoo as part of the WILDLABS Community awards 2024, together with ZSL #Tech4Wildlife

We released a preprint comparing #birdnet transfer learning to other #MachineLearning approaches for #automated detection of #gibbon calls from #Cambodia. We found #birdnet outperformed others w/ fewer samples. Huge for #acoustic monitoring of #endangered species like #gibbons.

🎙🌿What do you think will revolutionise #bioacoustics in the next 20 years? Submit your bold innovation ideas for consideration in our new horizon scan to build consensus, direct resources, & unlock this field's potential🚀 Learn more & contribute here: wildlabs.net/article/listen…

🎉 Big news! We’re thrilled to announce that we are officially a 1% for the Planet environmental partner! 🌿✨ Members can now support our work monitoring biodiversity with advanced AI-powered methodologies and expert teams. Learn more 🌎 directories.onepercentfortheplanet.org/profile/wildmon

Our new application note describes experiments measuring the end-to-end accuracy of GPS synchronisation. We feed the same 1kHz signal into four AudioMoths equipped with GPS hats and show that the resulting WAV files are synchronised to better than 1us. github.com/OpenAcousticDe…

As part of our WILDLABS Community awards 2024 project, we've been developing sensors for soil acoustics. This one incorporates a 50mm piezo disc and a high-impedance JFET amplifier, enabling it to be plugged directly into AudioMoth.

Thrilled to be alongside absolutely incredible leaders in #bioacoustics & #ecoacoustics for the next WILDLABS Community Virtual Meetup series! 🔊 I'm speaking in session 4, talking about how to translate #bioacoustic data into #conservation action & work we're doing at WildMon!

We are officially a forum member of the Biodiversity Credit Alliance🦋! 🌐 BCA is at the forefront of the biodiversity credit market, bringing together international stakeholders to influence the development of credible and equitable standards and policies.

Thrilled to be a new member of the Nature Tech Collective 🌿! The Nature Tech Collective is a non-profit member alliance, accelerator and intelligence unit that is advancing the uptake of nature-based solutions to integrate nature protection into all sectors of society.

Awesome project highlighting the importance and value of sustainable supply chains for local peoples and #biodiversity! #ecoacoustics #bioacoustics #conservation #restoration #agroforestry #RegnerativeAg #NaturePositive #wildmon

The wait is over, FishSounds.net Version 3 is out now! ✨🐠 Highlights include additional acoustic data (use the Search feature to explore), new and updated Projects pages (see below for more info), and updated About pages. We hope you enjoy it!

Introducing The Boring Fund. Alongside Arm, we’re supporting the essential but overlooked aspects of conservation technology—the “boring” initiatives that build a more resilient and effective #conservationtech ecosystem. Learn more and apply today: wildlabs.net/article/boring…

Really excited to see how #agroforestry impacts #wildlife! A great example of how #CarbonCredit projects can show #biodiversity co-benefits using nature tech like acoustic monitoring! Want to hear more about WildMon projects like this? We'd love to chat at #COP16! DM me😀

We are proud to announce the AMI Dataset, a benchmark for fine-grained insect identification in the wild - published this week at ECCV and the product of a global consortium of computer scientists and entomologists. arxiv.org/abs/2406.12452 🧵

Proud to be an early collaborator in Planet's new initiative, Project Centinela! 🛰️🌏 With high-res, high-cadence satellite imagery and analytics, we can accelerate our conservation efforts in Gunung Naning Protection Forest, Indonesia 👏

Experimenting with visualisation of GPS synchronised Open Acoustic Devices AudioMoth recordings. These are some test recordings from last summer of an air horn on a football pitch.
