These scientists have dedicated their careers to "tuning in" to wildlife. Now, they're helping us listen even more effectively.

When you enter the field to study wildlife, you are listening—listening intently for contextual clues that help you answer vital conservation questions (which usually lead to more questions). Attentive listening is at the core of striving for a deeper understanding of the natural world and how we might protect it.

The same applies to developing innovative tools that assist us in listening, and that's precisely what our new Scientific Advisory Board—a group of respected researchers and practitioners who bring deep expertise in ecology, conservation, and bioacoustics—is helping us achieve. Each member brings decades of experience and a keen understanding of what scientists are looking for when it comes to bioacoustics technology that addresses real-world challenges. Together, they form a critical bridge between the field and our R&D lab.

“Our goal has always been to create acoustic monitoring tools that help biologists make breakthrough discoveries,” says Wildlife Acoustics Founder Ian Argrant. “Working hand-in-hand with scientists at the forefront of wildlife research will give us a chance to listen more closely than ever to the needs of our customers and develop tools that not only keep pace with science but actively help drive it forward.”

We proudly introduce the inaugural members of the Wildlife Acoustics Scientific Advisory Board—leaders whose insights are helping shape the future of bioacoustic technology.
