The sounds of a city: how noise pollution reshapes wildlife

When: February 11 @ 7pm

Our University of Toronto Student will share her research on how noise affects the wildlife around us, especially in urban environments. She will explain how everyday sounds like traffic can disrupt animal communication, behavior, and survival. 

We will also connect this to environmental policy by briefly discussing how noise is regulated, why it is often overlooked, and why it should be considered an environmental issue, not just a human inconvenience. 

The aim is to show how reducing noise can help protect biodiversity and improve our shared environment. This session will be recorded and available to all who register. 

This session is hosted by Ingrid Buday, Founder and Executive Director of No More Noise
