This miniseries, produced by Mongabay India’s Everything Environment podcast in 2024, follows researchers who study wildlife in India through the emerging science of bioacoustics, that is, through the sounds that animals produce.
Episode 1: “Find Them” introduces listeners to bioacoustics and its uses, from locating and identifying species to counting them.
Episode 2: “Know Them” takes listeners through how researchers use sounds to learn about animal behavior and interactions.
Episode 3: “Us and Them” looks into what animal sounds tell researchers about how wildlife is adapting to their changing environment, mostly caused by humans.
