SDG 15, 14 — Curated ChallengeCurated Challenge

Interspecies Communication

We share this planet with millions of species, yet we understand almost nothing about their communication. Interspecies Communication brings together biologists, AI researchers, acoustic engineers, linguists, and conservationists to decode animal communication systems, build tools for bioacoustic analysis, and advance our understanding of non-human intelligence. This is frontier science that needs diverse human skills.
