TABMON

🌍 Building Europe’s Acoustic Biodiversity Network

TABMON is establishing a transnational acoustic monitoring network to turn large-scale soundscape recordings into biodiversity indicators that matter for conservation policy and management. The project harmonises collection, analysis, and integration of acoustic data so results are comparable across countries and programmes.

🎯 Our Mission

Deploy autonomous acoustic sensors across a wide latitudinal gradient in Europe and use AI to transform soundscapes into decision-ready indicators. The aim is to complement existing monitoring and help fill gaps in reporting to EU directives while supporting the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 targets.
