Under a full moon on an early spring night, several Australian Magpies sing and respond to one another with rich fluty melodies. Dingoes can be heard howling from further up the valley and a Powerful Owl hoots from a nearby forested slope.

Kubah's forests are pulsing with life, and the soundscapes that can be heard in this national Park are among the most incredible I have ever experienced. This recording features the incredibly powerful sounds of Empress cicadas, along with the melodic song of the White-rumped Shama, and the rhythmic ' te-hoop 'calls of Golden-whiskered Barbets.

This sample is an excerpt of the track "Dusk Rhythms" from the album Rhythm of Kubah - https://wildambience.com/albums/rhythm-of-kubah/

Listening to the sounds of nature has been shown to have many health benefits. To celebrate the acoustical beauty and diversity of the world's national parks and other protected areas, we are working together to develop the 'Sounds of Your Park' initiative. Our goals are to increase understanding of the acoustical environment as a park resource, increase understanding of soundscapes as an important part of ecosystem health and the visitor experience, and provide interpreters with tools for developing programs that will connect visitors to park soundscapes. 

Sounds of Your Park is an opportunity for people across the globe to virtually travel to the planet's most protected places, while listening to the vast diversity of sounds that exist there. Pretty cool! To experience Sounds of Your Park, visit www.soundsofyourpark.com today!

This project is a #NatureForAll collaboration between the Sound and Light Ecology Team at Colorado State University, United States National Park Service, Parks Canada, IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas, and George Wright Society. The #NatureForAll movement helps bring organizations together to inspire love of nature, with the understanding that the more people experience nature, the more they will strive to conserve it.
