I know that the US National Park Service Natural Sounds/Night Skies division has an incredible about of environmental audio data that's begging for automated analysis. This could be of much use to them. They do analyse their data, but it's largely been manual [1].

That's very interesting. The Rainforest Connection system has the ability to detect more than only chainsaws, so it could be really interesting to learn more from the datasets; we'll look into that. Thanks so much for sharing!
