[WILDLABS](https://wildlabs.net/) introduces itself as being the

> the first global, **open online community** dedicated to conservation technology.

They have a large [discussion website](https://wildlabs.net/discussions) which could be quite complementary to this Bioacoustics SE site as suggested several times on meta or the main SE site (e.g., [as a forum](https://bioacoustics.meta.stackexchange.com/a/182/73), [as a directory or teaching/job resource](https://bioacoustics.stackexchange.com/search?q=wildlab)).

I'm wondering about the "openness" of their [discussion platform](https://wildlabs.net/discussions). Does anyone know whether the content of the forum is under an open-sharing license? I have not found this information on their website.

I talk more about WILDLABS' features in my answer to your other question [here](https://bioacoustics.stackexchange.com/a/1136/200). I agree there is a lot of complementarity between the 2 sites!
