Hooting mad: Traffic noise leaving our owls hungry
Star-crossed crickets: Nature's dating ruined
Fretful frogs: Amphibian anxiety on the rise
HEADLINE
Human noise levels are rising
It’s well understood that the noise created by us humans is on the rise. What is less understood is just what impact this rise is having upon other species that we share the earth with.
The widely welcomed Bio Diversity Net Gain guidance has placed a much needed emphasis on just how we balance
development with the natural world, ensuring habitats are left in measurably better states than they were before development. It’s a bold ambition and couldn’t come soon enough, but what's not included in the guidance is how noise from these developments – through construction and beyond are affecting the natural world. It’s a serious area for concern
and one that is entirely within our control to mitigate against.
To bring a spotlight to the issue we’ve highlighted the plight of three different species each with a unique response to the prevailing noise increases.
