An online audiovisual library of videos, photos and sound recordings of the world’s birds. It is available to the public free of charge. Aiming to offer at least one video, photo or sound recording per species initially, the long term objective is to include material covering as many subspecies as possible and a variety of biological aspects (e.g. behaviour, feeding, breeding) for every species. The site main sections are: Explore, Upload and What’s New (i.e. new species on the site). Searching capabilities are quite decent and results can be filtered by type of material (i.e. photo, video, sound). Up-loading is free, but users need to be registered. The site also offers specially curated quizzes to test the users’ ornithological skills.

WRI is a global research organisation with over 700 experts and staff whose work focuses on six critical issues at the intersection of environment and development: climate, energy, food, forests, water, cities and transport, and ocean. The WRI produces short videos to communicate their research and impact. They serve as visual, non-technical entry-point into the work they do. The site also offers access to three other vast resources: Presentations, where experts talk about their research; Data Library with maps, charts, data sets, infographics and other visual resources which can be searched by type, topic or geography; and Data Platforms, which provides open access to reliable data for those interested in monitoring forests with satellites, tracking the drivers of climate change, understanding indigenous communities’ land rights, planning for water scarcity, and examining the cross-section of global environmental issues.

Radiophrenia is a temporary art radio station which aims to promote the medium of radio as an art form and to encourage experimental approaches to making radio that are not catered for by mainstream stations. Broadcasting live from Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts, the station’s broadcast schedule includes live shows, pre-recorded features and a series of specially commissioned ‘live-to-air’ performances. The majority of the programmes are made up of selections submitted to an annual international open call for sound and radio works. Examples of the wide range of broadcasts in previous years can be heard via Radiophrenia 2015, Radiophrenia 2016 and Radiophrenia 2017; Radiophrenia 2019, which will take place in May 2019, is now open for submissions. There is also Broader Casting, a short video which documents the creative process of community groups who are usually excluded from radio, making sound pieces for the festival.
