Welcome to the first edition of the WFAE Newsletter. This is a bimonthly online supplement to Soundscape:The Journal of Acoustic Ecology. Our goal is to make available, in a timely manner, news, events, and announcements from the WFAE Board, WFAE Affiliates, and other sources.
In addition, each newsletter will include an informative article, a Listen Up! section spotlighting the activities of individuals in acoustic-ecology, Sound Bites - headlines from the world press, and Site Visit - featuring a selected web site related to acoustic-ecology.
The success of this newsletter is dependent upon contributions by WFAE affiliate organizations, members, and others in the field of acoustic-ecology. See the Contributions section on how to submit your material in this newsletter.
Please note that the Events & Announcements section of this newsletter will be updated between bimonthly publications. So check back from time to time to see what new is happening in your neighborhood or around the world.
