A Rainforest in the Clouds

Artist:

George Vlad

Bale Mountains National Park, Ethiopia

Recommended charity: FZS Ethiopia

Notes:

In the cloud forests of Ethiopia the soundscape is decidedly different from lowland rainforests like the Congo or the Amazon. There are less insects overall, so hearing distance is greater. There’s still plenty of humidity but it’s colder and as a result wildlife has to conserve energy.
