Last month our team deployed acoustic devices at Imanda Forest and the grasslands around it.

It's a different landscape from what we usually work in Zambia. Imanda is a tropical forest, not the dry Miombo woodlands we usually focus on.

Four acoustic devices took us five hours to install. We crossed numerous streams and swamps, and that was during the dry season.

The devices will record the sound of the forest, and the recordings will be analyzed later with help from WildMon to tell us which animals live there and how the soundscape changes over time.
