A similar project is radio aporee, a huge corpus of field recordings from all over the world (see the "maps" section for searching etc): https://aporee.org/

I started making a lot of field recordings on my last few expeditions into remote rainforest. This is the soundscape at dawn from a camp in Maliau Basin, Borneo, featuring gibbons, hornbills, elephants, songbirds, insects... https://vocaroo.com/1ofQSNJYXLh2

I've recently upgraded my recording device, and will make a large library available in higher quality one day.

Wow, this has many more recordings & a larger variety! Thanks for sharing
What's so fascinating about projects like Aporee is the peculiar feeling one gets while listening to several of those field recordings in a row: here is a captured moment of reality that we will never get back. It's a moment of reality, a soundscape, that will never ever repeat in its 100% trueness or authencity. This gives an odd angle to think about the passing of time. [end of esotheric rant, hm]
