On Monday, April 28 Eric Leonardson’s post on “Acoustic Ecology and Ethical Listening” was published on the City Creatures blog about animal encounters in the urban wilderness.

This coincided with the Forum on Ethics & Nature: A Cascade of Loss, an Ethics of Recovery, a symposium organized by the Center for Humans and Nature and the Chicago Botanic Gardens, on Friday, May 2, 2014. Leonardson led two bird-oriented soundwalks at the symposium, focused on the ethical dimensions of conservation issues.
