The Terra Project's goal is to connect people to nature while creating a new conservation tool to help preserve wildlife on a global scale.
We’ll do this by creating Terra devices: small, weatherproof audio and radio receivers that you put in your yard.
These devices will give you a number of ways to listen and learn about the birds and animals nearby, while collecting data for a massive conservation database.
The first step is to build a community to support Terra through a Kickstarter campaign which will launch in May 18th, 2021.
