Accurate biodiversity assessment is fundamental for effective conservation management and environmental policy-making. However, monitoring local species populations is time-consuming, as experts can cover only one limited area at a time and are also prone to errors due to their varying knowledge and experience. Advances in low-cost autonomous recording units and AI-based classifiers offer new tools for species monitoring. However, while helpful in identifying species, current tools for acoustic species monitoring fall short in providing data on local populations.Keywords: Acoustic monitoring; Species abundance; Birds, BirdNET; AudioMoth; TASE
