This year, the scientific collection period starts in April and runs until May 31.
Dawn Chorus is the first first Citizen Science and Arts project that invites people worldwide to collect bird calls!
Here's how to do it: Get up early, go to the window or outside and listen to the birds. Record the voices with the free Dawn Chorus app, upload them and share your experience with people all over the world.
But recordings are also welcome after the main collection period! Your local recordings will be mapped around the world. You will make an important contribution to a growing scientific data collection on biodiversity research. Become part of a global artistic project!
Curious? Have a look at dawn-chorus.org.
The DAWN CHORUS app is now available for free for iOS and Android
(currently available from Android version 8/iOS version 11 or higher) .
On the 50th anniversary of International Earth Day, BIOTOPIA's founding director Prof. Michael John Gorman interviewed soundscape ecologist Dr. Bernie Krause
They talked aboutthe importance of experiencing biodiversity through the ears, and how tuning into the dawn chorus can alert us to the consequences of climate change, urbanization and deforestation.
