LIFEPLAN Kiiminki - Global audio and image collection on biodiversity

This dataset contains raw image and audio data collected by team Kiiminki in the LIFEPLAN project. Researchers collected data at 1 sites in Finland. We deployed first 5 and later 3 AudioMoth recorders and camera traps per site. Data collection started in 2021 and ended in 2025. Data were collected year-round as far as possible.

This dataset contains 165.89 GB and 104449 files of image data, as well as 9131.13 GB and 1314023 files of audio data,
which is equivalent to about 1464651 minutes of recording. LIFEPLAN project is described in detail in: Hardwick B, Kerdraon D, Rogers HMK, Raharinjanahary D, Rajoelison ET, Mononen T, et al.
