This grant is for assessing the effects of anthropogenic sounds, particularly from air tours, on the natural soundscapes and protected wildlife within U.S. National Parks, focusing on Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HAVO). Anthropogenic noise can diminish visitor experiences, affecting their ability to enjoy solitude and the park’s wilderness character, and also impact the behavior of sensitive wildlife. HAVO is home to several vulnerable, threatened, and endangered native Hawaiian animal species, many of which communicate acoustically and may be adversely affected by air tour noise. This research grant aims to address critical knowledge gaps concerning these specific impacts, ensuring the preservation of the park’s valuable natural resources and the well-being of its unique ecosystem and visitors.

| Description: | Natural soundscapes are a valuable resource within U.S. National Parks. Anthropogenic sounds such as those from Air tours may compromise visitor capacity to see wildlife, enjoy a sense of solitude, and experience the untrammeled character of wilderness areas within the park. Anthropogenic noise may also impact the behavior of protected wildlife that inhabit the park, particularly those species that communicate acoustically. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (HAVO) is home to several vulnerable, threatened, and endangered animal species, all of which may be affected by air tour noise. Research is needed to address gaps in knowledge regarding the effects of air tour noise on the behavior of these native Hawaiian species. |
