Noise Map – Galápagos

The first official acoustic monitoring tool for Santa Cruz and Baltra, designed to evaluate how traffic and urban activity affect biodiversity and quality of life.

Project:

Objective & Impact

The Noise Map provides a scientific and legal basis to manage noise pollution in Galápagos. It identifies main sources of acoustic impact and supports authorities in creating effective regulations for biodiversity protection.

Identifies sensitive areas affected by human activity.
Supports authorities in enforcing environmental regulations.
Raises awareness about the relationship between noise, people, and wildlife.

Our impact goes beyond data: we are building a culture of acoustic
conservation that positions Galápagos as a global reference.

Methodology (CadnaA & ISO 17025)

Advances & Results

Our progress so far:

Field measurements completed in Puerto Ayora and Baltra.

Data processed with CadnaA acoustic models.

Community talks and awareness campaigns launched to share preliminary findings.

Maps & Reports

We make our work available to the public because transparency is key:

Noise Maps (PDF + interactive formats).

Technical reports with certified data.
Educational guides for schools and local institutions.

By sharing these resources, we empower everyone to participate in protecting the Galápagos soundscape.
