Electronics for Innovation in Nature Protection
summary
A hand-built prototype device called the biot box captures microclimate and bioacoustic soundscapes, streams data over LTE + solar power and is being upgraded to manufacturable PCBs and a weatherproof casing with Würth Elektronik support. It claims to produce primary, quantitative biodiversity metrics — “every species that makes a sound” — and can sample ultrasonic calls (tested up to 320 kHz for bats). Deployed units already register events (deer damage, storms) and replace many manual field visits for corporate reporting.
