Article Synopsis
- - The podcast series, produced by the BBC, explores the impact of ecosystem degradation and urbanization on human connections to nature, emphasizing a world that lacks natural elements.
- - An online component engaged over 7,500 participants to evaluate how different soundscapes—nature sounds versus silent environments—affected their psychological well-being and motivation to preserve these sounds.
- - Results showed that exposure to natural sounds, especially wildlife, was more restorative and linked to personal memories, which in turn encouraged participants to support the protection of these natural soundscapes for better mental health and planetary conservation.
