Wireless Audio Recording... How Could It Be Done?

Hi there I have an IoT project, we want to put a bunch of modules in the forest and to record its "voice".

I was wondering how I could achieve it, which modules, and what are things I need to put more attention into.

In my mind it goes like this:

I saw a video here: YouTube and inspired. I think I will base my setup from this video. However, from this video it is shown that the sound will be outputted to a speaker. I need to have the sound to be recorded as a .wav and recorded periodically per period of time, e.g. record everyday at 10:00 AM to 10:05 AM.

Are there any possibility to change the RF into GSM connection?

Any of you people here have experience on this matter?

Why? What is the problem if on site Arduino writes the sound directly to the SD memory card? You will probably also need an RTC module.

It isn't a problem at all if the Arduino writes MP3 directly in the attached SD card memory. I am exploring any possible solution.

But then, I need to somehow retrieve the audio files to a thing like AWS S3 or a like.

Very few Arduinos are fast enough, and have enough memory to do MP3 encoding.

This explains how to use an ESP32 to record sound to an sd card
