Conservation: How to use our recordings
The mission of the Lab of Ornithology is focused on conservation of
biological diversity. The sounds and video that are part of the
Library's archive provide a key resource for conservation projects.
Scientists use sound and video for comparing species behavior,
physiology, and variation in vocalizations. Audio guides can help train surveyors in ecological areas where birds are rarely seen but constantly heard. Other researchers might use sounds to play to draw in a desired species or simulate a predator species.
The Library actively supports these endeavors and works with a
wide variety of conservation organizations.
