Biodiversity
Sonora
Record a minute of a place on your phone. It lands on a shared map with a spectrogram, and people work out together what is in it.
The product
A dawn recording, drawn the way Sonora shows it.
How it works
01
Record where you are
Nature, animal, human or other. Traffic is as welcome as a bird.
02
Choose how precise to be
Exact, neighbourhood, or city.
03
Read the spectrogram
How you see a call you could not quite hear.
04
The community identifies it
Confirmed, unverified or disputed. Nothing quietly becomes a fact.
From a minute of sound to a record
Where it stands
In testing
Recording, mapping, the feed and the community layer all work.
The cheapest sensor there is
The microphone you already own. Acoustic hardware is expensive; phones are not.
Want this where you are?
We would rather have it running somewhere useful than sitting in a demo.
