As part of the OKEON project, we use these natural sound recordings, or “soundscapes”, as a way of monitoring biodiversity. We collect more than 1 terabyte of audio […]

The soundscape of the sites differ based on their habitats and their proximity to urban areas, as illustrated by the sounds collected during […]
