Our culture was shaped by the sounds of nature. What could we learn if we listened again?
The sounds of nature give us clues to our ancient origins and to our current ecological challenges. We go looking for animals around California - from whales and birds to elk and newts. And we chat with soundscape ecologists, data scientists, a biologist, and an economist to learn how to give animals a fighting chance. Along the way, we also hear some pretty cool sounds.
