Endangered Bird Sound Classifier

Wonderful project by Guillermo Perez Guillen up on Hackster.io

To learn more about bioacoustic monitoring and its uses, check out this piece from the Yale School of the Environment.

Researchers use population monitoring to understand how native birds react to changes in the environment and conservation efforts. But many of the endangered birds across are isolated in difficult-to-access, high-elevation habitats. With physical monitoring difficult, scientists have turned to sound recordings. Known as bioacoustic monitoring, this approach could provide a passive, low labor, and cost-effective strategy for studying endangered bird populations.
