We have recently added the design files to enable users to cut their own acrylic enclosure. This acrylic enclosure can be laser cut using the pdf design files on the Resources page or the files can be used to order from any laser cutting service. Any laser cutting service can be used that supports 10mm acrylic sheets. For example, http://modelshop.co.uk/Static/WorkShop/Laser-Cutting-And-Engraving is a UK. The majority of services will accept pdf f...

To recap, we originally designed and developed AudioMoth to solve two conservation applications: detecting the New Forest cicada and detecting gunshots in tropic...

The first order has been organised by Alasdair Davies of the Arribada Initiative in response to requests from a large number of individuals all wishing to individually acquire the device. By aggregating individual orders into one large bulk purchase, the cost of e...
Belize lies on the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor in Central America and is globally renowned for its abundance of biodiversity, with 60% of the land area of the country still covered by forest. The terrestrial ecosystems in Belize are vulnerable to human overexploitation, and disturbances under the canopy can proceed unnoticed, as the rugged terrain makes it challenging to patrol and monitor. For example, poaching, selective logging and the loo...
