Every September to March, Tasmanians get the chance to borrow state-of-the-art recorders from libraries across the state (including Launceston, Smithton, Devonport, St Helens, Queenstown, Whitemark and Hobart). These fantastic gadgets enable us to unravel the secrets of different animals' calls, and to track changes in their numbers and habitats across Tasmania. As a volunteer CallTracker, you'll receive species identification suggestions when you upload your recordings to the cutting-edge Acoustic Pipeline website. It's like having your own hidden-wildlife guide!Get started this August by coming along to one of our National Science Week workshops - and find out about a new Critically Endangered addition to the list of species we’re tracking through their calls.Delivered by Citizen Science staff from Bookend Trust, these hands-on workshops offer a highly supportive environment, enabling you to readily navigate the technology behind the world of acoustic wildlife monitoring.<ul><li>Learn how to 'book' your CallTracker survey spot.
