Musicians have long incorporated nature's sounds into their music - think of the chirruping in The Beatles' "Blackbird", or the rain falling in "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors.
Well, now a new project will see nature benefit from this.
From Thursday, artists who sample nature will automatically split their profits with environmental causes through a project called Sounds Right, which is sponsored by the UN.
Artists Ellie Goulding, Aurora and London Grammar are among those collaborating with nature, while a song by the late David Bowie has been remixed to include the sounds of birds, bees and other animals.
