About Us Staff
The sound you
hear on this page is a Jackass penguin.
Fauna Communications Research Institute, founded
in 1992, is a non-profit
(501- C3)
institute dedicated
to the study of animal communication, especially those animals that are
endangered in the wild.
This type of animal communication research contributes extensively to the
knowledge of an animal, and helps with its continued conservation and
protection. We have a vocalization database of endangered and threatened
species that we are continually updating.
"Humans tend to equate communication
with intelligence, perhaps the public would do more to protect these great
creatures if they consider them knowing."
EvM
We help other researchers, universities, zoos,
and students conduct their own research, and also perform novel research of our
own. While maintaining a distinct sense of humor about our limited senses and
the state of the planet.
Goals
We believe
that there are some animals that are capable of healing themselves. We can use
this knowledge to generate new non-interventional methods for humans to employ,
and to provide third-world countries with premium and inexpensive health care.
Computer and recording technology has come so far that
we are able to test whether some animals, if not all, use grammatical structures
like humans do.
SEE OUR Polynesia Program.
This research is not based on observation, so the results are completely
objective. We present at major scientific conferences, and are published in
major scientific journals. We are unafraid of studying new topics.
