Bioacoustics is the study of the production, transmission, and reception of sounds produced by or affecting living organisms. But why is it necessary?
The Eclipse Soundscape Project allows all community members to participate in collecting data that reflects how different species change their behaviors during an eclipse. Ontario observers are looking forward to collecting this data during the total solar eclipse on April 8th 2024, either from the path of totality or from the partial eclipse as viewed from Toronto.
We have two exciting environmental monitoring projects this winter. SkNOWLEDGE involves monitoring local snowfall, while our iNaturalist project involves monitoring local biodiversity. You can collect data for both projects in the same trip to your local park or greenspace. Volunteer as much time as you like, submitting as many observations as you are able to (minimum 2 hours suggested).
Meet Edwin P., a high school bug enthusiast and art hobbyist from the GTA. Edwin got involved with EcoSpark during a school project. Inspired by his passion, he crafted animal-themed ink stamps for EcoSpark, using a process involving design, printing, and carving. Edwin's unique approach strikes a balance between accurate and artistic. Thank you to Edwin for his time, effort, and artistic flair!
Youth and the future of our planet depend on collaboration across the globe. Frameworks such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) have been useful for organizations like EcoSpark and our partners, because they set out focus areas and emphasize the interdependent problem solving we need to truly make progress.
