Abstract
The objective of the Habitats project is to integrate research in the fields of ecological impacts and
of environmental noise, developing management tools and processes to enable sustainable
development. Rapid population expansion and economic development against the backdrop of
climate and biodiversity crises presents major global challenges. Global society is dependent on
ecosystem services, underpinned by biodiversity. In the UK alone, these ecosystem services have been
valued by the Office for National Statistics in 2015 at £761 billion and human noise impacts will
significantly degrade that value unless managed appropriately. We no longer consider nature to be
separate from our economy and society, since it needs to be part of business, cultural and economic
decision making. The Habitats project is leading the development of an international industrial and
academic network to research and explore new ways and innovative technologies to better measure,
understand and model the effects of noise on wildlife habitats. However, current noise pollution
legislation is focused on humans; despite policy aspirations, there is no systematic approach to
assessing, regulating, or mitigating noise impacts on wildlife. This project will develop the rigorous
scientific evidence required for underpinning environmental noise legislation, regulation, and policy
development for managing the ecological impacts of noise on wildlife habitats.
