As more and more species become endangered, researchers are finding ways to protect and conserve animals and their habitats. The Elephant Listening Project from Cornell University in New York captures audio data from across the rainforest in northern Republic of Congo to track the sounds of the elusive African elephants. These recordings help researchers dive deep into the patterns and habits of the largest animals on Earth. The dataset, Sounds of Central African Landscapes, is made available in the cloud via the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Open Data Sponsorship Program. By gathering millions of on-the-ground recordings and data, the team hopes to discover insights leading to the safety and preservation of the species and the land they inhabit. To learn more, the Fix This team sat down with Dr. Daniela Hedwig, a behavioral conversation biologist and research associate at the Center for Conservation Bioacoustics and lead for The Elephant Listening Project at Cornell University.
