Nature speaks to us in many ways. Can you hear what she’s saying?
From the oceans to the mountains, What the Whales & Lions Tell Us takes you on a bioacoustic listening journey with two of our animal relatives — then into conversation about what they’re telling us, what they need, and what we can actually do to help them.
From oceans to mountains, we are not separate from these worlds. We come from them. We share them with creatures whose cultures predate ours by millions of years. And right now, many of those cultures are going quiet. This event is about listening before it’s too late.
What if you could slip beneath the surface and experience life as a whale—navigating a sonic world both strange and achingly beautiful?
Join us for an immersive bioacoustic listening journey, followed by a panel with leading researchers on what’s happening with whales right here in the Bay Area and beyond.
—Gašper Beguš, linguist with Project CETI who just discovered that sperm whales communicate using vowels (yes, really)
—Anne Simonis, bioacoustic researcher from SFSU investigating how human-made noise impacts marine mammals
—Kathi George, Director of Cetacean Conservation Biology at Marine Mammal Center, protecting Bay Area whales
