The challenge
Land managers and community conservation groups need evidence that nature is recovering, but occasional surveys miss most of what lives on a site. Alauda had to record continuously, name what it hears reliably, and present the results in a way non-specialists trust.
Our approach
Apalos built the whole stack: a custom PCB and enclosure for the listening post, firmware that streams audio to the cloud, a serverless inference pipeline benchmarking BirdNET against Perch 2.0, and a public site with a live map, station pages and playable, verified recordings.
The outcome
Listening posts at Syon House, Perivale Wood and other London sites now identify species around the clock, and every detection feeds a public record that estates and conservation groups can explore and cite.
