WILD ECHO

Australia’s Biosecurity Early Warning System

Wild Echo is an AI-powered bioacoustics platform that identifies over 6,000 species and detects invasive threats from a single 60-second audio recording. From the Beautiful Lyrebird singing at dawn in the Dandenong Ranges to the Red Fire Ant silently spreading through Queensland paddocks — Wild Echo hears what you can’t.

Invasive species cost Australia $25 billion every year. Cane Toads, Varroa Mite, European Wasps, Queensland Fruit Fly, Asian Honey Bees — by the time you see them, it’s already too late. Wild Echo provides 24/7 acoustic monitoring for farms, apiaries, national parks, and bushland, delivering real-time alerts when threats are detected.

The platform integrates BirdNET AI for species identification, the Atlas of Living Australia for biodiversity mapping, NASA satellite data for environmental context, and fire detection systems for bushfire early warning. Together, these integrations create the most comprehensive acoustic environmental monitoring system in Australia.

Wild Echo represents a new frontier in environmental intelligence — protecting Australia’s biodiversity and agricultural assets through the power of sound.
