Rainforests & The Tropics

Enter an exotic world of life in profusion.

Dew drips from the canopy in the humid air and the difuse light is suffused green. From the depths of the forest come extraordinary sounds; the slow booming of fruit doves, the song of exotic birds, the thrum of insects, and maybe even the calls of a troup of monkeys.

Tropical rainforests and jungles are some of nature's most diverse environments, and these are some of our most vibrant recordings!
