Earth Species Project (ESP)

Earth Species Project is the new frontier of interspecies understanding. We decode animal communication with advanced AI to illuminate the diverse intelligences on earth.

Founded in 2018, Earth Species Project brings together the best of tech, nonprofit, and academia to shift the way humans relate to the rest of nature.

We develop the world’s first and most capable large language models–like AVES and NatureLM-audio–for animal language processing. Built on AI breakthroughs in human language and reasoning, our multimodal foundation models capture the complexity of the natural world and illuminate the languages hidden across the tree of life. 

Nature speaks. We listen. Be part of the discovery at https://www.earthspecies.org.

Earth Species Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with headquarters in Berkeley, California.
