Episode #23: The Great Animal Orchestra
Bernie Krause grew up loving music and fearing the natural world. Following his influential career in music and composition, Krause decided to leave it behind and devote his efforts to studying the sounds of the natural world as a bioacoustician. Through his research, recordings, and his book, The Great Animal Orchestra, Krause is trying to raise awareness about how natural soundscapes have influenced our lives and how our actions can impact habitats all over the world.

If you listen to a damaged soundscape … the community [of life] has been altered, and organisms have been destroyed, lost their habitat or been left to re-establish their places in the spectrum. As a result, some voices are gone entirely, while others aggressively compete to establish a new place in the increasingly disjointed chorus.
[…] The fragile weave of natural sound is being torn apart by our seemingly boundless need to conquer the environment rather than to find a way to abide in consonance with it.
What Bernie Krause managed to come up with, and I mean the idea of recording natural sounds in diverse habitats with hundred of active species, was in short, brilliant. Not only this, but to have spent so much time on it is really admiring. It seems as if coming back to certain places after a couple of years wasn’t his original plan, but it turned out to be even better and more purposeful in general. Listening to the before and after of the sounds in populated habitats is truly eye-opening. I think any naturalist could give you a bunch of stats, numbers and more numbers of the amount of species that have gone extinct; but actually listening to it makes it much more realistic, it forces you to take it much more seriously than if you were to be shown a million graphics.
Currently, this issue doesn’t mean a lot to young people. Our generation couldn’t care less about it. I don’t think we’ve thought it through appropriately, because if we did, we would take some urgent immediate action. We would care a lot more since this is our future (and that of later generations) we’re talking about. Maybe today’s youth is misinformed, or maybe they genuinely don’t understand the consequences of a deteriorated society.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is America's truly wild treasure. In its current protected areas, it provides irreplacable habitat for some of our most beloved creatures: caribou, polar bears, grizzly bears, musk oxen, Dall sheep, wolves, wolverines and bird life that migrates around the world. It's important that it stays undeveloped for the next generation, too. Tell your friends about the Arctic Refuge - and join our celebration of a special place that deserves to stay as wild and free tomorrow, as it is today.

C is for Caribou by ~BakStabber
We celebrate the wilderness and wildlife of the Arctic Refuge, America's last, vast habitat for land denning Polar bear... but each and every existing Polar bear is important. Here, a baby Polar bear in Denmark receives some much needed care from 'adoptive' caregivers.
Ice is Nice...To protect the Polar bear - protect the sea ice! Don't destroy the remaining habitats of the great white bear. Keep cool and reduce your carbon footprint.

Ok, the music might be a little twee, but don't you just love Arctic animals? Since the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge provides home for many of these amazing creatures, it just makes us happy to think about it. Yay, for having a wild place left in the world like this - and for celebrating real world nature - in the digital world!
Wildlife has such unsurpassed beauty.

ARCTIC FOX Vulpes lagopus ©Paul Nicklen
Life in the Arctic is difficult, and the arctic fox is wonderfully adapted to live in very cold climates. While many mammals hibernate during the winter, the arctic fox does not. Its physical characteristics of superb insulation with fur and fat, combined with its stocky body shape enable the arctic fox to conserve body heat. Therefore, it can continue to remain active throughout the frigid months. During winters, their densely furred paws prevent heat loss through their feet. They also have the ability to restrict blood flow to the legs, which helps maintain core body heat. Lastly, the arctic fox has a tremendous tolerance for cold. Its metabolic rate only starts to increase at -58° Fahrenheit (-50° Celsius) and it only starts to shiver when temperatures reach -94° Fahrenheit ( -70° Celsius).
As the Arctic warms, the Arctic fox moves north and at the same time the larger and more aggressive red fox’s range expands into that of the arctic fox. These two species compete for food. The larger red fox also preys on the smaller arctic fox. Polar bears and wolves also threaten the arctic fox in two ways. When larger predators decline in numbers, they leave behind less carrion for the scavenging arctic fox. Bears and wolves also prey upon the arctic fox as a source of food. Despite all these hazards, arctic foxes are remarkably successful in most areas of their range.

More than half-a-century after Mardie and Olaus Murie's honeymoon trip to the Arctic, Karsten Heuer and Leanne Allison launched their own 3-month exploration toward and through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, following the wave of traveling caribou, in their annual migration.

Go, Girl! There wouldn't BE an Arctic Refuge without early conservationist Mardie Murie. On her honeymoon, she and new husband Olaus Murie travelled Northern Alaska -- by dogsled! She returned to their Wyoming home determined to preserve the vast wild ands where caribou, Polar bear, Arctic fox, and birds resided for thousands of years. This is a tribute to her vision. Watch!
Caribou People! Gwitch'in people show their spirit, giving highest respect for the National Arctic Wildlife Refuge and surrounding lands. Sarah James' lovely laugh always makes me feel happy, too. Protecting the Refuge? Yay!
