Description

Data from acoustic monitoring using 100 Audiomoth recorders installed by tourism operators in Cauca, Putumayo, Valle, Choco, Meta y Casanare states in Colombia. Each Audiomoth remained active for at least seven days in the second semester of 2021. The recordings were stored in Arbimon https://arbimon.rfcx.org/project/destinos-awake where the bird, mammal, frogs, and insect species were marked in the first 3 days, and used as templates to perform pattern matching in all the recordings.

This data is one result of the project: "Improving Sustainable Tourism - Phase 2: Boosting Conservation and Emissions Reductions Through Tourism and Technology”, a program funded by UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) from the Department's International Climate Financing (ICF) portfolio. UK Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). See more details in: https://monitoreo-acustico.netlify.app/

Purpose

We hope the data be useful to any other organization making biodiversity monitoring in tourism destinations.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

We installed 100 Audiomoth recorders in nature tourism destinations in Choco, Cauca, Valle, Putumayo, Meta, and Casanare.

Sampling

In each tourism destination, the host and a biodiversity specialist selected between one to five sites to install the recorders. Each recorder remained active for at least one week recording a minute every five minutes.

Quality Control

The data was verified by an expert listening the first three days in each location.

Method steps

The recordings were stored in Arbimon https://arbimon.rfcx.org/project/destinos-awake where the bird, mammal, frogs, and insect species were marked in the first 3 days, and used as templates to perform pattern matching in all the recordings.
All the species were identified using pattern matching in Arbimon, using good templates and exported from Arbimon to a table.

Additional info

Este conjunto de datos fue publicado con el apoyo del proyecto CESP “OpenPSD – Engage and promote the private sector in open biodiversity data publication (ID CESP2019-004)”, y la alianza con la Asociación Nacional de Empresarios de Colombia (ANDI) a través de su iniciativa “Biodiversidad y Desarrollo” (Datos abiertos sobre biodiversidad desde el sector empresarial).
