About the company The Cacophony Project brings a technological approach to the problem of New Zealand's invasive predators which are having a major impact on native bird populations. The project has two high-level aspects:
1. Technology to record and analyse birdsong at scale. Birdsong can be used as an indicator of bird population growth or decline and work is also underway to use recordings to identify particular bird species.
2. A device which uses audio lures, thermal imaging and machine learning techniques to automatically attract, identify and ultimately eliminate invasive predators.
We believe our approach has the potential to be vastly more effective than the measures currently in use to manage invasive predators.
The project is being run in a completely open source manner. Anyone is able to see what we're doing, contribute improvements or build something else from it. We have a core team of full time engineers and numerous external contributors and advisors.

Permanent
