International Research and Initiatives

To build on past collaboration and extend it to the topic of natural sounds and night skies in national parks and other protected areas, the scope of work and activities are proposed. This work will lead to better understanding of protection measures and programs that will benefit natural sound and night sky resources in U.S. national parks and worldwide. This work also begins development of an international community of practice that will lead to more sound and consistent management of natural sounds and night skies.
