That is sad to hear about Costa Rica. It seems like you were able to
at least make a few good recordings Martyn. I was thinking Costa Rica
has rapidly seen a building explosion when I saw that my new Intel
processor was made there. CAFTA making its mark. I wonder if the
people of these regions realize what they are loosing in exchange for
tourist dollars and business success? Why do humans tend to be so
loud, even when not working? I was once in a backpack club and found
out that most of them wanted to drink and be loud much of the time
while I just wanted to enjoy the peace and sounds of nature. Through
our recordings we can only try to show how the peaceful beauty of
nature sounds can be more rewarding than loud music or the revving of
engines. Maybe by contrast, recordings of human related noise in
these pristine areas can show people how important it is to think
about how they are interfering with others and how much of an impact
they are making into the ecosystems.
