When my youngest son was in high school, he came to me for advice on 
which handheld digital recorder to buy. My first question was: "What do 
you plan to record." His answer was simple: "Life", he said. I 
immediately ordered his top pick. Now, we both have handheld recorders & 
we have recorded & shared an interesting collection of sounds over the 
years.

>National Geographic: You can now hear rainforest sounds worldwide—here’s why that matters <https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/researchers-share-more-than-a-million-hours-of-rainforest-recordings>. “Gorillas beating their chests, chimpanzees pant-hooting, elephants rumbling—and poachers firing assault rifles—these are some of the more than a million hours of sounds recorded by a grid of 50 microphones in the Congolese rainforest since 2017. The massive acoustic monitoring effort covers about 480 square miles in the Republic of Congo’s Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park—an area about the size of Los Angeles. It’s part of Cornell University’s Elephant Listening Project, established in 1999 to detect communication among forest elephants and pinpoint poaching activity.”
