ASAB Interdisciplinary Workshop: Allying Conservation & Welfare Research on the Impacts of Human-Generated Sounds on Wild & Captive Animals


Venue: Virtual (online)

Anthropogenic noise has significant negative effects on wildlife and biodiversity but is also a source of stress for captive and managed animals. This 3-day workshop aims to bring together researchers with expertise on animal acoustics – from animal conservation, animal behaviour, and animal welfare – to catalyse developments in our understanding of the impact of human-generated sounds on animals, and how animals perceive these sounds. In doing so, this workshop will facilitate knowledge exchange between animal conservation, animal behavior, and animal welfare, identify key points of disparity in the assessment of human-generated sounds, and allow us to brainstorm ways to benefit animals both in natural and in captive situations as well as further our basic understanding of animal needs.
