    Your piece about the National Park Service recording natural and man-made sounds was very intriguing. Do you have any further information? I checked your website (which led me to an interesting artcile on gunshots) and googled for recent news and didn’t find anything.
    thanks,

    Thanks for your query about the story on the National Park Service monitoring system. The short podcast segment emerged as a spinoff from the gunshots article, since I had talked to an NPS researcher about the other applications of acoustics technology. While I don’t have a news story link to provide, you may find some of these background links useful:

    You may remember this New York Times piece, but I think the story of the ivory-billed woodpecker is a good example of acoustics technology applications in conservation.
