Planet Hope: Reconnecting to nature through sound with Michel André

This is Planet Hope, a podcast from The Times in partnership with <a href="https://www.rolex.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rolex and its Perpetual Planet Initiative</a>, hosted by The Story as a bonus weekly series each Sunday. Just as humans depend on sound for survival and expression, animals too rely on auditory cues to navigate their environments. However, nature is increasingly disrupted by human generated noise, from roaring engines to clanking machinery, disturbing the delicate balance of sound in the natural world. Environment Editor for The Times, Adam Vaughan is joined by bioacoustics scientist and Rolex Awards for Enterprise Laureate Michel André as he strives to restore the balance of human-generated noise and wildlife survival.
