The Museu de Diversidade Biológica audiovisual files may be requested by researchers from universities, museums, and other research institutions. In the case of high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, the request should be made by a supervisor. Please, access the website or SpeciesLink to consult our collection and requested files catalog numbers.
The request form should be filled with as much detail as possible and it will be evaluated by the Audiovisual Collections curators.
All sound, photos, and video files are sent through a cloud sharing link (Google Drive). This link stays available for 7 days, to download the files.
No audiovisual file provided by the Audiovisual Collections may be used for commercial purposes, environmental impact studies, or any other activity in which its direct or indirect use results in financial compensation. The unauthorized use of audio materials protected by copyright may lead to serious consequences. In addition to the indefinite suspension of new requests for submissions or access to the Audiovisual Collections, such practices may constitute a violation of the Brazilian Copyright Law (Law No. 9,610/1998), subjecting those responsible to civil and criminal penalties. We strongly recommend compliance with legal regulations and institutional policies to avoid legal implications.
It is important to cite catalog numbers in scientific and non-scientific publications using files granted by the Audiovisual Collections (read more about this in The value of audiovisual archives).
For operational reasons, we will temporarily not be able to process requests with more than 200 files.
