For 45-years Bernie Krause has been recording the soundscapes of the wilderness. In that time, he has heard our environment shift with the effects of global warming. In the video below, from the Great Big Story Facebook Page, you can hear the symphonies of nature and how our actions as humans impact life on earth.

In June 2013 Bernie was at TEDGlobal 2013 where he describes how he records and listens to these symphonies of nature.

Thank you, Bernie Krause, for recording the language of Nature.

The Permaculture Research Insitute

PRI Zaytuna Farm functions as a model farm (in development) and permaculture training facility. Geoff and Nadia Lawton, world-renowned permaculture educators and consultants, lead the project. Much of Geoff and Nadia’s time over the last few years has been spent away from the Institute, consulting and helping set up projects in diverse locales around the world. Seeing the worldwide demand for knowledgeable permaculture consultants and teachers increase exponentially, as fuel and fertiliser prices skyrocket and the effects of climate change, soil depletion and water shortages begin to hit hard, priority and focus is now shifting back to the Institute, where growing the training program will increase the output of quality teachers to help fill the growing need for them.
