Dawn Chorus 2020 – Science from home

TAKE PART AND SUPPORT THE RECORDING OF BIRD SPECIES DIVERSITY – SIMPLY FROM YOUR HOME!

A project of Biotopia: Dawn Chorus invites us all – despite and because of the lockdown situation – to listen and consciously listen to the nature and its sounds that surround us. The barely noticed morning concert of the birds offers a nature experience of great aesthetics, and never before can it be heard as clearly and with as little noise as at present. At the same time, by participating in Dawn Chorus, you are contributing to the recording of the state of the birds’ biodiversity. The populations of many native songbirds have declined at an alarming rate and one in eight bird species worldwide is considered to be in danger of extinction.

The morning concert will reflect which species are present in a particular place and how this is changing. It is therefore of particular importance, as the morning soundscapes can be used as a data basis for scientific studies. The contributions are also to be made available for art projects.

Your recordings thus make an important contribution to a growing scientific data collection for biodiversity research.

Bayklif also wants to participate in this great project and calls on all project leaders, project staff, interested parties and silent readers to join in.
