ARBIMON (Automated Remote
Biodiversity
Monitoring
Network) is a cloud-based
platform
for storing and analysing audio recordings, and an important early
conservation
eco-acoustics venture. It was co-founded by Mitch Aide and colleagues at the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras. Now associated with Rainforest Connection, the ARBIMON system is the basis for a variety of eco-acoustical studies (including frogs, insects,
birds
, and monkeys), the vast majority within forested conservation areas in Latin America.
