acoustic ecology networks

Acoustic ecology networks are systems that connect people and organizations to monitor and study sound environments in natural habitats. They focus on understanding how sounds—such as animal calls, weather noises, or human activity—affect ecosystems and biodiversity. By sharing recordings and data, these networks help track changes over time, promote conservation efforts, and raise awareness about environmental health. Essentially, they serve as collaborative tools to listen to and protect the sonic characteristics of our natural world, fostering a deeper awareness of the interconnectedness between soundscapes and ecological well-being.
