The Acoustic Ecology Institute

The Acoustic Ecology Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to studying and protecting natural soundscapes. It explores how human activity and environmental changes impact the sounds of wildlife and ecosystems, such as bird calls, insect noises, and water flows. By researching these sounds, the institute aims to raise awareness about the importance of preserving healthy acoustic environments, which are vital for ecological health and biodiversity. It also promotes soundscape-friendly practices, encouraging communities to appreciate and maintain the natural sounds around them for ecological and cultural benefits.
