Help us study the species running out of time.
RARElab runs on private donations. Here's where they go.
What we're working on right now.
What your support funds.
-
€150
Keeps a two-person team in the field for a day: fuel, food, the basics that keep a survey going.
-
€500
Puts a professional bioacoustic recorder in the forest for a year.
-
€2,500
Makes a paper open access, so the findings reach anyone working on the species rather than sitting behind a paywall.
Costs vary by project. Donations fund the science and help cover everything that keeps RARElab running.
What that produces.
The science we do produces specific outcomes. Sometimes new biology on a species nobody has studied properly. Sometimes a rediscovery, or the formal IUCN-grade evidence needed to declare a species extinct. Often data that feeds an IUCN reassessment, a recovery plan with local partners, or the eventual reintroduction of captive birds into restored habitat.
How to donate.
Donations fund the whole picture: field surveys, recording gear, sample analysis, personnel costs, and the day-to-day costs of running a small lab.
