Overview
FINALIST - Hubert-Reeves Prize, 2025 ""Evocative and poetic ... Highlighting the diverse sounds of wild places, Lost Songs of Nature is an engrossing, haunting book with an urgent environmental message."" -- STARRED Review, Foreword Reviews This is an invitation to listen, to discover and rediscover the planet's ecosystems- its forests, marshes, swamps, bogs and shorelines. An unapologetic plea to save nature's symphony. Man-made noise is increasing dramatically, encroaching on even the wildest of natural habitats. Will an increase in noise pollution herald complete anthropophony-a world that is deaf to the sounds of nature?

Reviews
""Through in-depth research and an accessible style, the author guides us along the paths of bioacoustics, a field that is increasingly studied, but which finds its first literary expression here in Quebec. Just like in his best-selling book Paroles d'un bouleau jaune, Michel Leboeuf makes us aware of the power of Nature and its deep connection with humans."" -- Vivre à la campagne ""Evocative and poetic ...
