Description
Dawn Chorus is a project that combines conservation, science and art to bring people and nature together in creative ways. Its motto is: Stop and Listen. People around the world take time in the morning to listen to the bird chorus wherever they are, record it and upload it to a global database. This data is made available to art and science, which can gain insights into preserving biodiversity.
With the Dawn Chorus app, users can easily and quickly make their recordings. They can also learn more about bird songs and unleash their creativity - for example with the media art feature "Sonic Feather", which transforms their own sound recording into art.
The app's data is only used anonymously and only for scientific and artistic purposes. The app also works offline, the data is then saved locally on the smartphone and can be uploaded later.
Dawn Chorus was launched in 2020 as a citizen science and arts project by BIOTOPIA – Naturkundemuseum Bayern (Munich) and the Stiftung Kunst und Natur (Nantesbuch) in collaboration with the Max Planck Society. Since 2022, LBV (Landesbund für Vogel- und Naturschutz in Bayern/ Bavarian Association for the Protection of Birds and Nature) is the project partner, replacing Stiftung Kunst und Natur.

Ratings and Reviews
Easy, Fun, and Worthwhile
This brand new app makes participating in the Dawn Chorus Project easy and fun. The interface is intuitive, its integration with iOS seamless, and the opportunity to contribute to an international community science project is inspring. I am reviewing it and the Project on the BirdWideWeb.com website, and will give it the highest rating. Congratulations to everyone involved in its development and the use of the data it generates.
Great, but two issues
I love this idea, but I wish there was a way to edit or delete a submission if you entered the habitat, weather, etc incorrectly. I also wish there was a way to share your entry on the public map without sharing precise coordinates. Perhaps it could be listed as somewhere within a wider radius? How can I make a currently public entry invisible? I don’t want my precise gps info on the public map, but the app won’t let me change or delete my entry. Thank you!
