World Heritage

There are special places in the world where nature really gets to show off her diversity and abundance.

These biodiversity hotspots - some protected as World Heritage sites, others not - are very precious, and listening to the often intense soundscapes found in them is a great priviledge in our modern world.

So put some time aside for appreciative listening, and enjoy the richness of these recordings, made in wild places of global significance.
