Their mission is from analyzing the social vocal communications of tigers, The Prusten Project seeks to define what makes an individual tiger’s call unique in hopes of developing non-invasive acoustic monitoring. Such a project would be implemented through microphone arrays placed strategically over the tiger’s home ranges to be used as a tool for conservation censusing and anti-poaching efforts.
