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 The project has now ended and the website is no longer being updated, but the sounds that have been gathered are still available on demand or as podcasts.

Survival is an international organization working for tribal people’s rights through education, advocacy and campaigns. They also offer tribal people themselves a platform to address the world. The website’s Tribal Channel streams a number of short films and video clips on tribes from around the world and their struggles for survival. Following controversy over the authenticity of footage contained in the television series Mark & Olly: Living with the Machigenga, in 2011 Survival International published a code of practice for filmmakers working with tribal peoples. The guidelines laid out in Ethical practice when filming tribal peoples aim to prevent further misrepresentations and potentially damaging portrayals of tribes. The code covers the importance of respect, safety, fair editing and truth and accuracy.
