Why was the Internet created if it cannot give us access to nature? Photos are good, of course, but what about sounds? Scientists from Cornell University digitized and laid out in the free access to the web the largest collection of natural sounds of our planet.
The collection began to collect in the library of Macaulay in the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology as early as 1929. Now you can listen to all this at .
Digitization contains about 150,000 audio recordings (more than 10 TB of data in the form of 7513 hours or 12 years). The collection represents 9000 species: mainly birds, but also whales, elephants, frogs, monkeys and other animals.
Records can be freely used for everything from advertising to research.
