Details
Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) is a biodiversity monitoring technique that uses microphones to record the presence and behavior of animals. PAM has seen a rapid usage growth in the last decade, allowing wildlife monitoring at an unpresented scale.
One of the main bottlenecks is that the ecoacoustic community currently lacks an accepted standard for the exchange of PAM data. In this project, we will tackle this problem by exploring the recently developed Camtrap DP standard (https://doi.org/10.1002/rse2.374), which has successfully solved this problem for the exchange and archival of camera trap data.
Through a series of workshops and with a joint group of eco-acoustic experts and Camtrap DP maintainers, we will assess if and how Camtrap DP can be applied to PAM and how its development process can be used in the eco-acoustic community.
