What the grant supports

The grant helps communities and local organizations document environmental stewardship and turn fieldwork into evidence-backed Projects.

Funding can support:

  • capacity building

  • basic field equipment

  • AudioMoth bioacoustic sensor deployment

  • biodiversity observation workflows

  • Project documentation on Bumicerts

  • environmental storytelling and impact reporting

What selected grantees need to do

Selected grantees are required to use Bumicerts and related tools on GainForest.app during the program. This is so the grant does not only support equipment, but also creates a public record of stewardship, learning, and evidence.

📁 Bumicerts Project

Create or maintain a Project that explains who you are, what you are doing, where the work happens, and why it matters.

🦋 Biodiversity observations

Upload species observations, field notes, photos, and other ecological evidence.

🤖 Tainá

Use Tainá as an interactive Telegram field companion for learning, species identification, voice notes, field notes, and biodiversity observations.

🎙 AudioMoth bioacoustics

Where relevant, deploy AudioMoth sensors and link sound recordings or deployment records as Project evidence. AudioMoth is the only bioacoustic sensor integration currently supported.

Bioacoustic sensor support

For teams interested in acoustic monitoring, the grant can support AudioMoth bioacoustic sensor deployment. AudioMoth is the only bioacoustic sensor integration currently supported on GainForest.app.

GainForest can provide capacity building around:

  • planning a sensor deployment

  • setting up devices

  • recording deployment information

  • uploading sound recordings

  • linking recordings to a Project as evidence

  • understanding how bioacoustic data can support stewardship and impact reporting
