Successful Conservation Projects with Real-Time Acoustic Monitoring

Successful Conservation Projects Using Passive Acoustic Monitoring
Discover how PAM is transforming conservation efforts worldwide through real-time, non-invasive monitoring of marine and terrestrial species.

What is Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM)?

Passive Acoustic Monitoring uses underwater microphones called hydrophones to detect and analyze animal vocalizations, human activity, and environmental sounds. It's a revolutionary, non-intrusive way to observe wildlife and protect biodiversity.

Why Use PAM in Conservation?

Why Use PAM in Conservation?

Collects data without disturbing wildlife or habitats.

Hard-to-Reach Environments

Gathers information from deep oceans, dense forests, and remote reserves.

Real-Time Data

Enables immediate conservation actions based on live monitoring.

Real-World Success Stories

Forest Monitoring

  • Southeast Asia: Detected rare bird species at high elevations.
  • North America: Monitored bat populations through echolocation.

Marine Protected Areas

  • Gulf of California: Tracked vaquita porpoises.
  • North Atlantic: Mitigated whale-ship collisions using real-time whale tracking.

Wildlife Reserves

  • Africa: Detected elephant calls to prevent poaching.
  • USA: Mapped wolf movements by tracking howls.
