ALERT ON THE GROUND
PARTNERS

REAL-TIME THREAT DETECTION

Our hardware picks out sounds of illegal pouching or logging. Alerts are sent to groundpartners nearby via our proprietary app in order to intervene the threat.

HOW IT WORKS

Our hardware collects acoustic data from the soundscape for real-time threat detection or eDNA from the environment biodiversity monitoring.

BIODIVERSITY MONITORING

We identify and monitor species via sound or eDNA samples collected with our hardware. This data is used to inform conservation action and promote ecotourism.

REAL-TIME THREAT DETECTION

Our hardware is designed to monitor biodiversity and pick out sounds of illegal activities, such as chainsaws, vehicles, sounds, and gunshots, from the soundscape. Once the invasion is identified, real-time alerts are sent to local partners on the ground via a Ranger Mobile App or collected to be used as forensic evidence. The solution is effectively being utilized around the world to halt illegal logging, poaching, and mining.

BIODIVERSITY MONITORING

Rainforest Connection’s acoustic sensors and analytical platforms monitor biodiversity in real time. The technology developed by RFCx automates the identification of thousands of species, including frogs, bats, birds, and mammals, and provides tools that facilitate the addition of models for thousands more species.

RECREATION

NURSERIES

Our free biodiversity monitoring platform, ARBIMON allows the world’s leading ecologists, conservationists, and organizations to transform sound into actionable biodiversity insights via fast & easy data labeling that uses pattern recognition. These models can be for in-depth analysis & subsequently translated into species-specific or multi-species CNN models.

NURSERIES

YEAR IT WAS PROTECTED

All living organisms leave DNA traces in water, air, and soil. eDNA sampling collects these traces from the environment – no physical sightings or interference needed. Provides a snapshot of biodiversity from a simple water or soil sample.

VISIT PROTECTED ZONES

Each year, millions of tourists visit fragile ecosystems – yet their impact often goes unmonitored. Our tools provide actionable conservation data, helping to assess the true impact of tourism on delicate environments. By 2030, RFCx plans to deploys technology to monitor and protect thousands of travel destinations whose ecosystems are most impacted by tourism.
