Costa Rica’s PES Soundscape

In 2022, Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich launched a study using bioacoustics — the sounds of nature — to measure the impact Costa Rica’s Payment for Ecosystem Services program has on protecting and restoring the country’s biodiversity. The study is still in progress, but you can listen to some of the early recordings linked to the sites in this collection. Just visit each site profile and click on the associated link.
