Wilderness Americas: Amazon Rainforest is a collection of sounds captured in the West part of the Amazon basin (El Oriente) across 3 countries of South America : Bolivia, Ecuador, and Colombia.

This library focus on the wildlife and wilderness sounds of the Amazon rainforest/jungle.

Reaching the Amazon region is not easy and needs many resources and time.
Also, the weather conditions are very bad for the people and audio equipment: extreme humidity, rain, and heat don’t work great with microphones and recorders.

We have selected audio gear for this purpose: tropicalized microphones: sennheiser MKH 8020 and MKH 30 series in a surround configuration + a world-renowned recorder: Sound devices Mixpre 10T. We have taken also a humidity-proof microphone basket (Cinela)

This weatherproof setup permits us to record even under strong tropical rains. (We have also a special mic cover which reduces the sound of a raindrop on the microphone basket)

We have always focus on places, where they protect and respect the “Selva” (Forest), especially places like National Park, Research Station, or community places. -> We went record in these different place: Madidi National Park (BOLIVIA), Podocarpus National Park (Ecuador), the biological station of “Jatun Sasha” (Ecuador), the forest around the Rio Napo (an affluent connection to the amazon river) (Ecuador), the “Reserva de Produccion Faunistica Cuyabeno” (Ecuador) and the region around Mocoa, between Santa Rosa Canyon and the Paway Reserva (Colombia).
