Sound can make the difference between life and death

It’s time to open our ears to life as we’ve never heard it before

Secret World of Sound

Listening to nature allows us to be aware of

the vast variety of wildlife in a soundscape.

Our aim is to listen to and learn from nature

using technology.

Strengthening people's connection with the environment

Our vision is to establish comprehensive bio-acoustic profiling, monitoring and data integration across Southern Africa by 2030, enhancing awareness and appreciation of our natural soundscapes.

Biodiversity and birds

By nurturing a deeper awareness of our surroundings

we can begin to repair the connection

between people and land.

Biodiversity plays a crucial role in sustaining life and serves as an indicator of an ecosystem's stability.

Thank you for listening

Is there something you want to hear while you’re not there?

What about something that records what was heard?

Perhaps a favourite bird?

A vibrant, multi-colored bird with a blue and black plumage is perched on a white surface. The bird has a mix of rust-colored and brown feathers toward its tail. It wears a small band on its leg, suggesting it is being studied or monitored.

A small green bird perched on a thin branch, with its beak wide open as if chirping or calling. The surrounding environment is lush and blurry, hinting at a dense forest or garden setting. Soft light filters through the foliage, adding a serene and natural ambiance.
