Take a few seconds and just listen to what’s going on around you. We’ve learned to ignore traffic noise, music, talking and other constant ‘white noise’ around us. But the wild animals around us haven’t, and it’s affecting how they communicate, live, mate and hunt. These animals developed very sensitive hearing as they evolved; although their incredible hearing has served them well over the years, it also makes it more difficult for them to filter out the noises we humans have learned to ignore. By making some changes in the things we do and showing respect for these animals’ needs for more quiet surroundings, we can help improve their lives. Silence really is golden.
