Abstract Knowledge that can be gained from acoustic data collection in tropical ecosystems is low‐hanging fruit. There every reason to record and with day, there are fewer excuses not do it. In recent years, the cost of recorders has decreased substantially (some purchased for under US $50, e.g., Hill et al . 2018) technology needed store analyze continuously improving (e.g., Corrada Bravo 2017, Xie 2017). Soundscape recordings provide a permanent site at given time contain wealth invaluable...
Education is an essential part of ecotourism, and first-hand experiences in nature can lead to increased awareness concern for the environment. Environmental education however, generally shaped by anthropocentric views human-nature relationships which emphasise human exceptionalism agency protecting nature. This paper re-imagines child-nature ecotourism through a post-humanist lens, based on semi-structured interviews with professionals conservation education. We set out re-imagine how may...
Although UNESCO has a stated aim to incorporate culture into all development policies, culturally integrated approaches realising the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are arguably yet gain widespread traction. Focusing on cultural practices relating music and sound, this article explores role of policy in advancing SDGs Asia-Pacific, through three case studies. In Indonesia, local project document sustain Indigenous Marapu people is generating positive health...
Freshwater ecoacoustics is an emerging field that involves underwater audio recordings to detect the presence, location, and density of species in noninvasive unbiased ways. Conducted long-term, provides information on biophysical changes environmental patterns can advance freshwater conservation.

Research shows that prison programs addressing intergenerational trauma and grief, loss of culture spiritual healing are necessary for incarcerated Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander peoples. Indigenous-led or culturally focused receive little attention limited resourcing in Australia's system compared with mainstream rehabilitation programs. Depending on the jurisdiction prison, such can be even less accessible women. Listening to Country was an arts-based pilot project developed by...
River Listening is an interdisciplinary research project exploring the cultural and biological diversity of global river systems through sound. The examines creative possibilities accessible noninvasive recording technologies to monitor health engage local communities in conservation systems. combines emerging fields science with acoustic ecology, creativity digital technology further understanding aquatic biodiversity inspire action at a time when management freshwater ecosystems critical priority.
The recent emergence of the interdisciplinary fields ecoacoustics and sound studies has resulted in a dramatic increase both artists scientists engaged practice audio field recording for diversity purposes. techniques used vary substantially reflecting differing loci interest. We argue that could benefit from greater cross-fertilization, enhanced discussion existing practices. suggest acoustic ecology as provides natural home such exchanges, discuss our application Acoustic Ecology Biosphere...
The hosting of the Balance-Unbalance 2013 International Conference in a UNESCO designated Biosphere Reserve was seen as strategic opportunity to align objectives and activities Reserves aspirations Balance-Unbalance.
Acoustic ecology is a dynamic interdisciplinary field that studies the social, cultural, and ecological aspects of our environment through sound. In context UNESCO biosphere reserves seek to reconcile conservation cultural biological diversity, acoustic offers valuable tools understand environmental changes from diversity perspectives. Biosphere Soundscapes large-scale research project conceived in 2011 records changing soundscapes reserves. The underpinned by creative possibilities rapidly...
