Xeno-canto Foundation for Nature Sounds

Description

The Xeno-canto Foundation for Nature Sounds (Xeno-canto, XC) aims to popularise bird sound recording worldwide, improve accessibility of bird sounds, and increase knowledge of bird sounds. The foundation is based in The Netherlands. It was founded in 2008 and is officially known by its Dutch name ‘Stichting Xeno-canto voor Natuurgeluiden’. The foundation’s main channel is www.xeno-canto.org, an online database that provides access to sound recordings of wild birds from around the world. The recordings are shared by a growing community of thousands of recordists from around the world, amateur birdwatchers and professionals alike. The aim of Xeno-canto is to have representation of all bird sounds, meaning all taxa, to subspecies level, their complete repertoire, all of the geographic variability, at all stages of development.
