Stop and listen to the sounds of nature – and record them! The citizen science and arts project "Dawn Chorus" invites people around the world to collect bird songs: For biodiversity research, in other words, research on the diversity of life on our planet.
In doing so, the project draws attention to the wonders of nature and its threats. Since the morning concert of the birds (= Dawn Chorus) is a reflection of the diversity of species and also tangibly reflects their decline. The sound recordings can easily be made with a smartphone. In this way, changes in different environments can be explored. For example, also in the urban space of Munich, which is a focus of the festival year 2023. Interested amateurs can help analyse the bird calls and demonstrate their creativity in interactive sound artworks.
