UNESCO listing: Mount Kenya National Park/Natural Forest
This dusk chorus recorded at Castle Forest Lodge in Mount Kenya National Park and Forest is a harmonious blend of natural sounds, showcasing the interactions of the forest wildlife at dusk. Different birds are singing melodiously, with the Red-fronted Parrots calling loudly from the thick forest canopy.
The Black and white Colobus Monkeys growl as they retreat into their evening roosts. The gentle dripping of forest fog can be heard falling on leaves.
This vibrant soundscape reflects the Mt. Kenya National Park’s status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its scenic beauty, biodiversity, and vital role as a water catchment area. The soundscape immerses listeners in the rhythms of the forest, fostering a deep appreciation for its conservation and the interconnected lives it sustains.
