This grant, offered for research within national parks and other protected natural areas, aims to fund a crucial social science project. Its core purpose is to investigate the complex effects of both noise and natural sounds on the overall visitor experience in these invaluable ecological sites. This initiative will also meticulously study how noise impacts the vital interactions between visitors and the resident wildlife populations. The insights gained from this research are intended to facilitate the development of comprehensive, visitor-based acoustical indicators and standards. These new benchmarks will ultimately inform and guide management practices, ensuring a harmonious environment that benefits both park visitors and the unique wildlife inhabiting these conservation lands.
