Soundscape ecology is a new field of research that investigates how sound in the environment can be used to assess ecosystem health as well as human connection to nature and the environment in general. With this app, you can help capture and preserve sounds of the Earth and highlight their bellwether role in alerting scientists to environmental habitat changes by species. This app was originally launched to encourage the general public’s citizen researchers to capture natural sound recordings and upload them for preservation during Earth Day 2014. However, we are continuing to preserve sounds that you capture using this app.
