WRI is a global research organisation with over 700 experts and staff whose work focuses on six critical issues at the intersection of environment and development: climate, energy, food, forests, water, cities and transport, and ocean. The WRI produces short videos to communicate their research and impact. They serve as visual, non-technical entry-point into the work they do. The site also offers access to three other vast resources: Presentations, where experts talk about their research; Data Library with maps, charts, data sets, infographics and other visual resources which can be searched by type, topic or geography; and Data Platforms, which provides open access to reliable data for those interested in monitoring forests with satellites, tracking the drivers of climate change, understanding indigenous communities’ land rights, planning for water scarcity, and examining the cross-section of global environmental issues.

A project co-ordinated by the World Service to build a sound map of the world by asking listeners to send in recordings of sounds from their regions, particularly ones that might be in danger of disappearing. The site includes a couple of Discovery programmes featuring a range of experts concerned with acoustic ecology in the urban soundscape, as well as tips on making recordings. The project has now ended and the website is no longer being updated, but the sounds that have been gathered are still available on demand or as podcasts.
