In this episode, I interview Matt Mikkelsen of Quiet Parks International, to discuss the importance of preserving quiet in our natural and urban environments. Matt delves into the effects of noise pollution, such as increased stress levels and its impact on wildlife communication. Our conversation also highlights the global efforts by Quiet Parks International to certify quiet places, the personal and societal benefits of quiet, and the ongoing challenge with military aircraft noise in Olympic National Park. Additionally, Matt shares insights into his background, his work in nature sound recording, and his filmmaking projects that focus on the natural world and its preservation. The episode emphasizes the need for collective awareness and action to protect and cherish the rare and valuable commodity of quiet in today's increasingly noisy world.
