International Commission on Biological Audio Monitoring

The International Commission on Biological Audio Monitoring (ICBAM) is an organization dedicated to using sound recordings to study and protect wildlife. By collecting and analyzing animal sounds, such as bird songs or marine calls, ICBAM helps researchers monitor species populations, track migration patterns, and assess ecosystem health. This approach provides a non-invasive, efficient way to gather ecological data globally. The organization promotes standardized methods and international collaboration to improve biodiversity monitoring, contributing valuable insights for conservation efforts worldwide.
