Why Is the Amazon Rainforest So Noisy?

How is it possible to enjoy an Amazon Rainforest nature study when most of us will never travel to South America for a nature walk? It’s easy. Not every nature study topic has to be experienced outdoors. When a nature walk isn’t possible, the next best thing is to study from afar. This episode of the No Sweat Nature Study Podcast does just that!
