Here's a great thread from Karen Rowe The #DigitalPreservation of more than 5000 sounds of nature deepens knowledge via a uniquely transformational medium for identifying biodiversity in place “Communities Listening for Nature Collection” #WDPD2020 #DigitsForGood

The film “Why should we listen to nature?” shows how dedicated community groups improve outcomes for wildlife through the #DigitalPreservation of Victoria’s unique natural soundscapes youtube.com/watch?v=xIPnvz… #WDPD2020

Knowing where threatened species make their home is the first step in conserving their habitats. Wildlife soundscape recordings can be used to digitally preserve their presence in space & time, leading to better conservation outcomes for species like the Powerful Owl. #WDPD2020

Visualising sound expands the possibilities of studying bird song complexity. This spectrogram of a Superb Lyrebird’s song shows how #DigitalPreservation of sounds improves knowledge of vocal mimicry and how it shapes remarkable behaviours. Karen Rowe #WDPD2020

Getting out into the bush, to see the animals that we have spent our lives studying is a biologist's jam! I'm looking forward to sharing the research that builds on these field trips and collections. Plus lizard photos. There will be lizards.

In case you're living under a rock (another pun): right now we're looking for the #Fossil #State #Emblem of #Victoria. We had a hard time narrowing down all the amazing possible fossils to just 8 species. Now it's your turn to chose the official one: museumsvictoria.com.au/melbournemuseu…
