Detect
Our solar-powered bioacoustic monitoring tool - the Guardian 3 (G3) is capable of detecting threats in real time (24/7), including but not limited to illegal logging, poaching, blast fishing and forest fires.

1
Alert
Our data-powered hardware uses AI and machine learning to deliver real-time notifications with detailed information on threat location and captured audio of threat via our Companion mobile app.
2
Intervene
An agent nearby receives a real-time alert of the detected threat via our Companion app, enabling rapid response before any damage can occur.

Biodiversity Monitoring
Traditionally, animal species diversity and abundance is assessed using a variety of methods that are generally costly, limited in space and time, and most importantly, they rarely include a permanent record. Our ecoacoustic analysis platform automates data acquisition, data management, and species identification based on audio recordings.

"Ten years ago, we came to you with an ambitious idea: to create a global, real-time protection system for rainforests - a smart nervous system for nature.
Since then, we've developed some of the world’s most advanced tech for understanding nature through sound, helping us to track animal behavior, detect illegal logging, and fight poaching in real time across forests worldwide. What we’ve uncovered with our research has reshaped our understanding of how animals live, adapt, think, and feel."

Introducing the Guardian 3 (G3)
Designed by Topher White, the G3 is our most advanced guardian yet - combining three highly sensitive microphones that captures all ambient sound within a radius of 50 m to 1,500 m depending on the source of the sound.
Its unobtrusive design powered with solar panels, on-board power management and LFP battery packs provide power to the Guardians. Its specifically adapted to collect the flecks of light that make their way through the forest canopy.
In addition to GSM and Wi-Fi, the device also comes built-in with Starlight connectivity which enables the device to run onboard audio analysis and transmit alerts in real-time.
