Bioacoustics: Can sound solve biodiversity's data deficit?

By Richard Edgar Editor in Chief

Good data drives good decisions. But despite growing acceptance that biodiversity loss is an urgent economic risk and a major cause of climate change, the tools available to investors for measuring companies’ impact on wildlife remain severely limited. Fidelity has been on the ground in Borneo to bring you the story of bioacoustics, an emerging science that’s using sound to track species.
