WE'RE ON A MISSION TO SAFEGUARD THE FUTURE OF THE PLACE WE CALL HOME
THROUGH THE POWER OF SOUND. GIVING VOICE TO THE VOICELESS.
AT THE HEART OF THE LISTENING PLANET IS A COLLECTION OF STORIES IN SOUND
The Listening Planet Library is one of the most important private collections of nature sounds that exists in the world.
Founder, Martyn Stewart – born and raised in Birmingham, England - has been a world-leading sound recordist since 1975, recording in over 60 countries and capturing over 3500 species of birds, countless insects, amphibians and mammals.
He has made it his life's mission to record the world one species at a time. The collection currently contains over 30,000 hours of nature sounds and soundscapes, more than 90,000 individual sounds and as many intimate stories from the natural world

OUR WORLD IS
ANYTHING BUT SILENT
SOUND is how the natural world is able to speak to us.
It is a language, however, that many of us have long since forgotten and yet its call has never been more urgent.
I’ve dedicated my life to wanting to change that, to giving a voice to the seemingly voiceless and awaken a connection I believe lives deep inside all of us.
Never before have we faced such an urgent need to connect hearts with minds and knowledge with action in order to inspire people to value and connect with the natural world and to critically safeguard its future.”

"THE LISTENING PLANET is both a celebration Stewart’s contributions to the field of audio naturalism and his final effort to call attention to vulnerable places and animals"
"Stewart is collecting 55 years of recordings from extensive fieldwork around the world into a series of albums and an online hub. There, listeners can immerse themselves in a meticulously captured series of natural soundscapes from around the world – some of which no longer exist."
