Xeno-canto - Bird sounds from around the world

This dataset covers the sounds of the Bird sound collection of Xeno-canto (XC). XC is an online database that provides access to sound recordings of wildlife from around the world. The recordings are shared by a growing community of thousands of recordists from around the world, amateurs and professionals alike. The aim of Xeno-canto is to eventually represent sounds of all animals, meaning of all taxa, to subspecies level, of their complete repertoire, with all of the geographic variability, at all stages of development.The website of Xeno-canto (xeno-canto.org) was launched in 2005, and initially focussed on Neotropical birds. The scope of Xeno-canto is gradually widening. XC is run by the Xeno-canto Foundation for Nature Sounds in The Netherlands, with support from Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Please note that the Bird sound dataset shared on GBIF is a subset of the entire collection that is available on https://xeno-canto.org/?gid=1. Only the recordings by recordists who have given their permission to share recording metadata with GBIF are shared here.

本数据集收录Xeno-canto（XC）鸟类声音馆藏的全部音频资源。XC作为全球性野生动物声音录音在线数据库，向用户开放世界各地的野生动物录音素材。这些录音由全球不断壮大的数千名录音师社群共同贡献，其中既有业余爱好者，也涵盖专业从业者。
Xeno-canto的终极目标是完整收录所有动物类群（直至亚种层级）的全套发声曲目，覆盖所有地理变异类型与发育各阶段的发声表现。Xeno-canto官网（xeno-canto.org）于2005年正式上线，最初以新热带界鸟类为核心收录方向，其馆藏范围正逐步拓展。
本数据库由荷兰自然声音Xeno-canto基金会运营，并得到荷兰自然生物多样性中心（Naturalis Biodiversity Center）的支持。
请注意：在全球生物多样性信息设施（GBIF）平台共享的本鸟类声音数据集，仅是https://xeno-canto.org/?gid=1 全站完整馆藏的子集。本平台仅共享那些已获得授权、同意向GBIF共享录音元数据的录音师所提交的录音素材。
