The World Forum for Acoustic Ecology

The World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE) is an international organization that brings together people interested in the relationship between humans and the sounds of their environment. It promotes awareness and understanding of how sound impacts our well-being, culture, and natural surroundings. WFAE encourages the study, preservation, and appreciation of acoustic environments through conferences, research, and art. Its goal is to foster a community that values sound as an integral part of ecological and cultural health, advocating for mindful listening and protection of natural and urban soundscapes worldwide.
