LIFEPLAN Paimpont - Global audio and image collection on biodiversity

This dataset contains raw image and audio data collected by team Paimpont in the LIFEPLAN project. Researchers collected data at 2 sites in France. Sampling alternated yearly between a Natural type site and an Urban type site. We deployed first 5 and later 3 AudioMoth recorders and camera traps per site. Data collection started in 2021 and ended in 2024. Data were collected year-round as far as possible.

This dataset contains 97.6 GB and 45345 files of image data, as well as 4491.77 GB and 628157 files of audio data,
which is equivalent to about 560853 minutes of recording.
