“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” ~ Traditional biodiversity surveys are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error—plus, human presence can disrupt wildlife. Bioacoustic recorders, paired with AI, offer a faster, less invasive way to monitor vocal animals. We use this technology to explore applied ecological questions, such as how human-made noise impacts vocal animal communities and how effective native reforestation efforts are.   View some snaps of us in the field here.
