Hi Jose,
At least around here, in North America, many native animal species avoid hu=
man presence. The greater the human presence the greater the impact on the =
habitat or ecosystem. Roads create swaths of lower animal diversity and pop=
ulation size. Any anthropogenic sounds associated with a human presence in=
an area that is considered to be "natural" I might consider "bad" for that=
natural ecosystem, and definitely "bad" for type of nature recording that =
I do. Of course transportation sounds from air and highway traffic are the =
worst. Through these sounds of our loud motors we extend our presence deepl=
y into even the most remote corners of our world.
Can you give some examples of the "good" anthropogenic sounds you are refer=
ring to?
