Lost Songs of Nature: Nature's Symphony in the Age of Noise Pollution - Paperback

by Michel LeBoeuf (Author), Neil MacMillan (Translator)

FINALIST - Hubert-Reeves Prize, 2025

"Evocative and poetic ... Highlighting the diverse sounds of wild places, Lost Songs of Nature is an engrossing, haunting book with an urgent environmental message." -- STARRED Review, Foreword Reviews

This is an invitation to listen, to discover and rediscover the planet's ecosystems- its forests, marshes, swamps, bogs and shorelines.

An unapologetic plea to save nature's symphony. Man-made noise is increasing dramatically, encroaching on even the wildest of natural habitats. Will an increase in noise pollution herald complete anthropophony-a world that is deaf to the sounds of nature?
