There's a couple rules for the a2o in conservation. First, it provides a baseline that we can compare other data collection against - lots of projects will be shorter lived our very local in scope, and so the nearest station can provide some kind of comparison. For more wide-ranging species, we should be able to get a better sense of the geographic variation in vocalisations.

Second, and more direct for this project, there's a lot of questions in monitoring where training data is lacking for classifiers. We see the search tooling as a great way to quickly generate reference recordings to build classifiers.
