Topic Summary (from en.wikipedia.org): , is the relationship, mediated through sound, between living beings and their environment . Acoustic ecology studies started in the late 1960s with R. Murray Schafer and his team at Simon Fraser University ( Vancouver , Canada ) as part of the World Soundscape Project . The first study produced by the WSP was titled The Vancouver Soundscape . The interest in this area grew enormously after this pioneer and innovative study and the area of Acoustic ecology raised the interest of researchers and artists all over the world. In 1993, the members of the by now large and active international Acoustic ecology community formed the World Forum of Acoustic ecology.
