Science for Biodiverse and Equitable Forests
Our goal is to do science that will help protect tropical forest biodiversity in an equitable way.
From protected forests, like national parks and community protected areas, to forests that humans use for logging and hunting, we are looking for the best ways to preserve the variety of life within an ecosystem. We use sounds that animals make to investigate how tropical forests can stay safe and sound.

Art and sounds
Our lab often works with artists, to bring the sounds of tropical forests closer to people. Check out the recent art collection and get in touch if you’d like educational resources for schools based on this art:
