#4
Made possible throughout the work of biodiversity research teams networked by the EU-Asia GRID (Global and Regional Integrated Data Centers). As part of their research, a team of scientists at the Khao Nan National Park in Southern Thailand captured the evening chorus of the moist evergreen arboreal biome. The setting synthesized for this episode is the product of a time-collapsed sampling of recordings made by this research team from 17:00 to 21:30 on December 9, 2014 CE.

Special thanks to K. Jaroensutasinee, M. Jaroensutasinee, P. Koad & A. Charoensuk at the Huai Lek HQ in Khao Nan National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand.

The recording was retrieved January 25, 2017, from the TW GRID website at soundscape.twgrid.org/db_browse.php?ColID=20
