Recording the Sounds of Extinction
|
| Musician and naturalist Bernie Krause is one of the world’s leading experts in natural sound. Krause has been recording "soundscapes" – the wind in the trees, the chirping of birds, the songs of humpback whales – for over forty years and has amassed the largest archive in the world. In doing so, Krause can chart how wildlife sounds have changed over the course of climate change. Listen for yourself: the silence speaks volumes. |

Be The Change
The next time you travel, take the time to talk to a local person. Allow yourself to look into the eyes of that stranger and ask them about their home — maybe what they like about their city or the countryside they live within. Share a story about your own home too, and remember that we are all neighbors on this planet once we begin talking to each other. |
