Humans are born into a wondrous planetary chorus. The whistles of dolphins. The trill of a bird. The pop and crackle of trees. But today, many of us rarely hear anything other than ourselves. In a world teeming with sound, what happens when a species only listens to itself?
Join us on a journey into the heart of a quiet revolution—a listening renaissance. We’ll meet a global community of listeners devoting their lives to paying attention to what other beings are saying. Flowers that can “hear” their pollinators. Coral larvae that use sound to find reefs. Turtles, long considered silent, with rich acoustic lives. And everywhere we listen, we discover there’s more to hear.
In this season of Threshold, we investigate what it means to listen to the nonhuman voices on our planet—and the cost if we don’t. With mounting social and ecological crises, we ask what happens when we tune into the life all around us.
