Connect to nature while conserving it

With Terra You Can

Discover Wildlife Locally...

The Terra Station is an AI-powered listening and radio monitoring device that streams nature sounds, identifies bird calls using Cornell's BirdNET, and detects wildlife radio tags to support conservation.

...While Conserving it Globally

Each Terra Station is part of the Terra Network, which collects all the IDs from around the world into a single database for conservation and research.

Get Ready to Listen
With your Terra Station set up, it’s time to connect to nature wherever you are.

Terra detects animal sounds as well as radio transmitters to give you a full picture of local wildlife. As a network, Terras across the globe track and monitor wildlife in a powerful new way.

Some of the best money I spent. I love the product, believe in the mission, and can't wait to see it grow and change.

Help! I’ve become addicted to Terra.

Elizabeth R.

Can’t wait to add accessories to it, particularly the extra antennas! Thank you for an awesome product and fantastic support!

I received my new Terra Listens station yesterday and set it up within minutes. I was so excited! :)

Darin M.

Every day, we hear hundreds of birds, as well as, coyotes, raccoons, bobcats, squirrels ... I have let my birding and wildlife friends know what a great tool/resource the Terra Station is for listening to nature.

Chris J.

I've read your missives since the project began and know you and others have put a lot of work into it. Thanks for that. It shows in the build.

John B.

It's exciting to see so many new devices coming online on the map.

Our Terra device inspires awe and wonder in us daily as we get a live feed and report of the many species that fly or visit within range …. So incredible!

Rachael T.

So far, -40C is our record low temp near Fairbanks Alaska. It didn’t miss a beat.

Cheryl H.

All of this is awesome! This is what we were hoping for—a running stream of the birds…that the Terra picks up, even if we are not actively listening. Thanks! We love our Terra on Day 1!

Virginia T.

We are impressed with the range on the microphone. Enjoying the Terra unit so far.

Janet W.

We had the southern snow storm and even with almost 10" of snow the terra was listening.

Amelia D.

What makes this better than Merlin is that you can be anywhere and hear the birds.
