In general, due to the decreasing efficiency of traditional management methods caused by resource limitations and climate-induced shifts in breeding seasons, new methods need to be compared, evaluated, and optimized for large-scale application. These methods aim to enable more precise monitoring of conservation statuses, distributions, and their changes, while also providing a critical foundation for species conservation, identifying potential threats, and evaluating the effectiveness of management measures. Our focus is on assessing the potential and conducting a pilot study on the use of passive acoustic monitoring methods as a complement to or advancement of traditional approaches.
