Sense of Silence Foundation

The Sense of Silence Foundationconcentrates the largest bioacoustic Big Data in the world, from the deep-ocean to the Amazon rainforest, allowing the real-time monitoring of wildlife and biodiversity, worldwide  The Sense of Silence Foundation listens to Nature, forwarding its stream of knowledge to science and society by deploying passive acoustics sensors in areas where wildlife conservation is threatened, to live monitor its behaviour and take conservation measures when necessary. Through the technology developed by the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics (LAB) of the Technical University of Catalonia, BarcelonaTech (UPC), which anticipated the future broad use of acoustic data at large spatial and temporal scales through its international network of acoustic stations, live streams of sounds converge to dedicated servers where an automated analysis identifies the sources involved, displays the data on the internet and alerts scientists and regulators of the presence of threats to Nature.
