Sound – The Fullness of Nature (Part 1)

Expeditions with Patrick McMillan Season 4 Episode 403 | 26m 48s | CC

Sound is everywhere. It tells us where we are, what time of year it is, and what is around us. Can you imagine an early morning walk without the sounds of nature filling out the picture? Scientists use sounds to help us understand populations, behavior and even ecosystem health. Everyone, regardless of our physical challenges can help to contribute to the conservation of our shared world.
