A temple to experience the hidden breath of our protected planet
Fragments of Extinction, a long-term environmental sound-art and science dissemination project, showcased its work听at the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 World Conservation Congress 2016 in Hawai鈥榠 at the Protected Planet pavilion. The project records听24-hour sound portraits of the oldest and most biologically diverse primary equatorial forests in the Amazon, Africa and Southeast Asia, to store them as samples of the intangible heritage of ecosystems.

In June 2017,听the first world's听听was opened to the public at the听听Natural History Museum in听Denmark. The theatre is a unique facility dedicated to immersive listening experiences of rainforest ecosystems, designed by David Monacchi for the project Fragments of Extinction.
The recorded high-definition data are analysed within the framework of Ecoacoustics, composed into specific 3D sound-documentaries,听and played back in science museums, contemporary art venues and public spaces. The ultimate aim is to foster audiences鈥 awareness on the richness and fragility of life 鈥 evident in its outstanding soundscapes 鈥 celebrating the acoustic intelligence and equilibrium of ecosystems in their undisturbed state.

After its world premiere in April 2017 in Nyon, Switzerland, the documentary film 鈥 鈥 based on Fragments of Extinction鈥 received multiple international awards. More recently the film at the Imagine Science Film Festival in New York, and is now traveling in the main world鈥檚 environmental, human rights and science film festivals.
On 17 May 2018听a day-long 'The World of Bio-acoustics, Biodiversity and Conservation'听will be held in conjunction with the opening of the new Fragments of Extinction show in Naturama.
Currently the first is being built in Pesaro, Italy, and will be available at the end of 2018 for temporary installations in museums and public spaces.
The next field recording campaign is scheduled for 2018 in primary forests of West Papua and Borneo, strictly within protected areas of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Category 1a (Strict Nature Reserve). Unique data for ecoacoustic analysis and the creation of new sound documentaries will be gathered with an unprecedent degree of audio definition, including stereoscopic 360掳 footage for a new VR audience experience.
