Understanding Forest Degradation through Soundscapes

What is the primary purpose of installing acoustic sensors in the forest understory?

• To measure the temperature of the forest

• To record the unique soundscapes of the forest

• To monitor the growth of trees

• To track the movement of large mammals

What is the 'arc of deforestation' known for?

• A region with abundant wildlife

• A zone with the most rainfall

• An area with high forest fire risk

• A place with the tallest trees

How do researchers complement satellite observations in their study?

• By using drones to capture images

• By collecting soil samples

• By measuring tree heights

• By recording soundscapes under the forest canopy
