Wildlife Acoustics is proud to offer a grant program to support the advancement of wildlife research, habitat monitoring, and environmental conservation.
The quarterly grant program provides scientists with bioacoustics research tools to further their study of bats, birds, amphibians, and other vocal wildlife.
In response to overwhelming demand, they have established a “Kaleidoscope Pro-only” grant option for the esteemed applicants. They value your commitment to making a positive impact and understand that time is of the essence, so they have streamlined these applications to get you back in the field (or lab!) quicker.
