The Naturalist
David Mann, Haikubox founder, was a young birder who spent hours in nearby Sapsucker Woods at Cornell. He later studied biology at Cornell and earned a PhD from MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution focused on bioacoustics.
The Science
When David and long-time colleague Holger Klinck, PhD, Director of the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, realized they shared a common interest and the technical skills to develop an automatic birdsong identification tool, Haikubox was hatched
Core Values
Our mission is to improve environmental literacy and promote conservation and stewardship by helping people learn and care about the natural world. We are fulfilling our responsibility to positively impact the environment, one backyard at a time
The Process
Iterative Development
These images capture some of the steps taken to develop Haikubox, including testing enclosure designs, comparing neural nets, and evaluating performance in sun/heat, as well as the small batch assembly process in our Florida office.
In addition to the development of Haikubox, Loggerhead Instruments, founded in 2003 and located in Sarasota, FL, enables scientific discoveries by developing, manufacturing and supplying underwater acoustics equipment to the world’s oceanographers loggerhead.com).
