Mission

We offer a complete solution for acoustic biodiversity monitoring. The ARBIMON team seeks to improve the way we monitor fauna around the world by making the process of species identification in audio recordings easy and accessible to everyone.

Vision

Our vision is to make acoustic biodiversity monitoring stations as common as weather stations and make the information available in real-time for everyone around the world.
