Bioacoustics is the study of the production, transmission, and reception of sounds produced by or affecting living organisms. But why is it necessary?
The Eclipse Soundscape Project allows all community members to participate in collecting data that reflects how different species change their behaviors during an eclipse. Ontario observers are looking forward to collecting this data during the total solar eclipse on April 8th 2024, either from the path of totality or from the partial eclipse as viewed from Toronto.
Youth and the future of our planet depend on collaboration across the globe. Frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) have been useful for organizations like EcoSpark and our partners, because they set out focus areas and emphasize the interdependent problem solving we need to truly make progress.
We have two exciting environmental monitoring projects this winter. SkNOWLEDGE involves monitoring local snowfall, while our iNaturalist project involves monitoring local biodiversity. You can collect data for both projects in the same trip to your local park or greenspace. Volunteer as much time as you like, submitting as many observations as you are able to (minimum 2 hours suggested).
The City Nature Challenge, a four-day global event, inspires cities to engage in a friendly competition to see who can document the most wildlife observations, identify more species, and involve the greatest number of participants.
