Every birdcall, insect chirrup, rustle in the leaves, and drop of rain: We’ve created a digital library with over 424 years of sound data that can give scientists instant access to vast troves of raw, acoustic data collected from rainforests worldwide.
Real-Time Conservation Action
Our AI powers real‑time alerts for the Rainforest Connection (RFCx) Guardian system, enabling rangers to intercept illegal loggers and poachers immediately and to detect at‑risk or invasive species - triggering timely interventions such as managing elephants that wander into dangerous areas. To-date, we've detected, identified and monitored over 7,025+ species & 310 threatened species worldwide.

Ecoacoustic Analysis
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. Automated Remote Biodiversity Monitoring Network (ARBIMON), automates data acquisition, data management, and species identification based on audio recordings. These models can be for in-depth analysis & subsequently translated into species-specific or multi-species CNN models. You can aggregate recordings at different temporal and spatial scales, and organize your data creating playlists by site, time of day, detected species, soundscapes, and tags.
Policy & Land Management
Our technology has proven valuable for both protected area design and reforestation strategies. In Puerto Rico, our data on species distribution informed government decisions to adjust protected area boundaries so they better encompass critical habitats. In Brazil, our acoustic monitoring helped validate which tree planting strategies were most effective at bringing back native wildlife, directly shaping future reforestation protocols.
Scientific Credibility & Funding Validation
Our technology delivers both peer‑reviewed scientific credibility and robust, verifiable ESG reporting. Our AI has underpinned more than 20 peer‑reviewed publications - for example, quantifying the impact of Hurricane Maria on biodiversity - demonstrating the methodological rigor and reliability of our approach. In parallel, global corporations such as Huawei (Tech4All) rely on our AI to independently verify the outcomes of their conservation initiatives in over 10 countries, providing defensible, science-based evidence for their annual ESG disclosures.
eDNA Sampling
All living organisms leave DNA traces in water, on surfaces, and in air and soil. We use eDNA sampling to collect these traces from the environment - no physical sightings or interference needed, and provides a snapshot of biodiversity at a place and time. This is especially good for the detection of species at low abundance and those that do not make sounds, complementing bioacoustic observations.
Open Access Biodiversity Data
LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) is a data integration and visualization platform that consolidates multiple biodiversity data streams into a unified interface. It aggregates acoustic outputs from Arbimon and eDNA results, supports site and habitat comparison across methods, helps present pilot results through maps, summaries and reporting views and allows comparison of data to other global locations. The data can be downloaded for use in a custom dashboard of choice.
Our holistic biodiversity monitoring solution is used to empower local partners, researchers, and citizen scientists to better understand and conserve their regions. Ecoacoustics analyses are executed using a combination of RFCx offline and online recording devices.
You can now upload and analyze an unlimited amount of audio from our Guardians.
