The original WSP team included\u00a0Barry Truax<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Hildegard Westerkamp<\/a>, Bruce Davies and Peter Huse, among others. The first study produced by the WSP was titled\u00a0The Vancouver Soundscape<\/a>. This innovative study raised the interest of researchers and artists worldwide, creating enormous growth in the field of acoustic ecology. In 1993, the members of the by now large and active international acoustic ecology community formed the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The radio art of Schafer and his colleague, has found expression in many different fields.[4]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0While most have taken some inspiration from Schafer's writings, in recent years there have also been divergences from the initial ideas. The expanded expressions of acoustic ecology are increasing due to the sonic impacts of\u00a0road<\/a>\u00a0and airport construction that affect the soundscapes in and around cities where the human population is more dense.[5]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0There has also been a broadening of\u00a0bioacoustics<\/a>\u00a0(the use of sound by animals) to consider the subjective and objective responses of animals to human noise, with\u00a0ocean noise<\/a>\u00a0capturing the most attention. Acoustic ecology can also be informative of changes in the climate or other environmental changes since every day we listen to sounds in the world to identify their source such as bird, car, plane, wind, water. But we don't listen those sounds as a network , a mesh of relationships that form an ecology.[2]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Acoustic ecology finds expression in many different fields that characterize a soundscape, which are biophony, geophony, and anthrophony.<\/p>\n
