Re-imagining child-nature relationships in ecotourism: Children’s conservation awareness through nature play and nature-based learning
Education is an essential part of ecotourism, and first-hand experiences in nature can lead to increased awareness and concern for the environment. Environmental education in ecotourism, however, is generally shaped by anthropocentric views of human-nature relationships which emphasise human exceptionalism and human agency in protecting nature. This paper re-imagines child-nature relationships in ecotourism through a post-humanist lens, based on …
Listening to Country: Immersive Audio Production and Deep Listening with First Nations Women in Prison
Listening to Country was an arts-led research project where, as an interdisciplinary team of practitioner-researchers, we worked with incarcerated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to produce a one-hour immersive audio work based on field recordings of natural environments. The project began with a pilot phase in Brisbane Women’s Correctional Centre (BWCC), Australia, to investigate the value of acoustic ecology in promoting wellbeing a…
Listening to Country: A prison pilot project that connects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women on remand to Country
Research shows that prison programs addressing intergenerational trauma and grief, loss of culture and spiritual healing are necessary for incarcerated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Indigenous-led or culturally focused programs receive little attention and limited resourcing in Australia’s prison system compared with mainstream rehabilitation programs. Depending on the jurisdiction and prison, such programs can be even less acces…
Sounding Extremes: Ecological Sound Art in the Anthropocene
The catastrophic impacts of climate change, vanishing biodiversity, and the rapid deterioration of our global ecosystems require urgent attention and aggressive political action. This article explores a body of interdisciplinary research through a series of ecological sound projects designed to draw attention and awareness to changing ecosystems. These projects are framed as participatory acoustic ecology and position the discipline as a socially…
Abstracts from the Spectra 2018 Symposium Part 7: Environment and Bio-Science
Leah BarclayAquatic ecosystems are complex acoustic environments where life may be reliant on sound to communicate and survive. The impacts of climate change are often readily visible in terrestrial environments, but conservation is challenging in aquatic ecosystems when we cannot see beneath the surface. Increased anthropogenic noise and rising temperatures continue to cause unfathomable ecological disruptions that are dramatically transforming …
Integrating music and sound into efforts to advance the sustainable development goals in the Asia-Pacific: Case studies from Indonesia, Vanuatu and Australia
Although UNESCO has a stated aim to incorporate culture into all development policies, culturally integrated approaches to realising the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are arguably yet to gain widespread traction. Focusing on cultural practices relating to music and sound, this article explores the role of culture and cultural policy in advancing the SDGs in the Asia-Pacific, through three case studies. In Indonesia, a …

The Art and Science of Recording the Environment
The recent emergence of the interdisciplinary fields of ecoacoustics and sound studies has resulted in a dramatic increase in both artists and scientists engaged in the practice of audio field recording for a diversity of purposes. The recording techniques used vary substantially reflecting differing loci of interest. We argue that both fields could benefit from greater cross-fertilization, and enhanced discussion of existing field recording prac…
River Listening: Acoustic Ecology and Aquatic Bioacoustics in Global River Systems
River Listening is an interdisciplinary research project exploring the cultural and biological diversity of global river systems through sound. The project examines the creative possibilities of accessible and noninvasive recording technologies to monitor river health and engage local communities in the conservation of global river systems. River Listening combines emerging fields of science with acoustic ecology, creativity and digital technolog…
Listening to Communities and Environments
Biosphere Soundscapes is a large-scale interdisciplinary project working with local communities to explore the value of acoustic ecology in understanding rapidly changing environments. The project is delivered through immersive residencies with artists and scientists, research laboratories, and a diversity of creative projects spanning four continents in UNESCO biosphere reserves. Biosphere Soundscapes is grounded in the critical importance of co…
A Balanced Approach to Local and Global Action
The hosting of the Balance-Unbalance 2013 International Conference in a UNESCO designated Biosphere Reserve was seen as a strategic opportunity to align the objectives and activities of Biosphere Reserves to the aspirations of Balance-Unbalance
Biosphere Soundscapes
Biosphere Soundscapes (BioScapes) is a large-scale interdisciplinary art project underpinned by the creative possibilities of soundscape ecology, a rapidly evolving field of biology used to record environmental patterns and changes. This project is designed to inspire communities across the world to listen to the environment and re-imagine the potential of International UNESCO Biosphere Reserves as learning laboratories for a sustainable future
