World's largest sonic survey could save Costa Rican rainforests

For the past two months Giacamo Delgado, a doctoral researcher at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, and two other teams from Costa Rican universities have bounded across the country recording the soundscapes of its forests. The survey involves positioning microphones at more than 600 sites in every type of forest ecosystem in Costa Rica, making it, by some measures, the largest such “ecoacoustic” survey ever. This survey could pave the way for a network of sensors listening to the planet’s biodiversity in real time.
