18、ecreasing gibbons (长臂猿). Between 50 and 90 percent of the logging (采伐) that happens in the worlds rain forests is illegal, according to White, yet detecting that activity can be tough. So he has developed a system in which he uses a cell phone staying charged by solar cells and an extra microphone.
19、From there, the device can detect the sounds of chainsaws (电锯) nearly a mile away.Because its unfeasible to have people listening to the devices all the time, he added some “old-school data analysis,” so that the cell phones computers can distinguish a chainsaws sound from others in the forest. This
20、 way, his device can automatically detect logging activity and send a text alert to authorities who can determine if its illegal and then stop it.So far, his monitoring system has been used in Cameroon, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil and will soon be deployed in Bolivia. Its not just about listening for
21、logging. Also, it can pick out the sounds of specific birds, which is why White sees the forest recordings as a potential science tool. He is urging biologists and ecologists to use his monitoring system anywhere, whether its a remote forest or a park in London. “The more we learn about these places
