earth.fm
Curated library of nature soundscapes recorded in threatened ecosystems worldwide — each recording is geolocated and many come from areas under active conservation.
Earth.fm is a non-profit, growing library of nature sounds recorded around the world. The site and app let you listen to immersive soundscapes from habitats around the world, often threatened ecosystems.
It is aimed at people who want natural background sound for relaxing, working or sleeping, and at supporting conservation, since the project depends on support from its community. Some content may need an account. Listening is a good way to hear places most people will never visit.
Why it is useful
Earth.fm combines functional ambient sound with conservation awareness. The curation quality is exceptional and the website is designed for sustained, focused listening rather than quick browsing. A genuinely meaningful use of audio streaming.
