Costa Rica: The Sound of a Successful Rainforest Recovery Program
🪙 The first nation-wide program that paid landowners to leave pastureland untouched has been successful.
Drawing on the burgeoning field of #BioAcoustics researchers revealed how the din of life in forests regrowing under the program had a lot in common with intact forests in the area.
“Empowering local people and sharing nature’s bounty among all, instead of locking it away for the privileged few, is a radically effective ecological solution.”
- Giacomo Delgado (principal scientist)
Can you hear it? That’s the sound of a successful rainforest recovery program.
Nearly a million minutes of recorded sound suggest that paying people to protect forests can restore the complex acoustic signatures of biodiversity.

@joewynne This is great news. Perhaps, we humans should tax all the environmentally destructive corporations and pay for this kind of forest restoration programs worldwide.
