Sound Ecology Institute

The Sound Ecology Institute is a nonprofit organization that studies and promotes awareness of natural soundscapes—such as forests, oceans, and wetlands—focusing on their importance for ecosystems and human well-being. It underscores how human activities impact these acoustic environments, which are vital for wildlife communication, ecological health, and cultural experiences. By researching and advocating for sound preservation, the Institute encourages sustainable practices that protect natural acoustics and foster a deeper appreciation of Earth's sonic landscapes. Its work helps ensure these vital sound environments are valued, maintained, and enjoyed for future generations.
