With the International Day for Biological Diversity taking place on 22nd May, we launched the challenge: record the sounds of biodiversity. We want to create a sonic snapshot of biodiversity by carrying out the largest possible number of recordings.
We invite you to make recordings of animal sounds in Portugal from the 14-27 May and to contribute to capture a acoustic snapshot of biodiversity.
We also intend to create a sound installation that will be played at the National Museum of Natural History (in Lisbon) associated with the "Collections of Naturalists " exhibition. The initiative is aimed to celebrate the diversity of animal sounds all arround.
We hope you can join us
