In addition to the resources below, see our list of Musicians offering songs on environmental topics, and  the links for individual items on the main Earth Songs page.

Broken Link Warning:  This page is current as of May 21, 2020. I previously had included numerous other sites which have disappeared or changed their design.  Many programs and efforts have been discontinued, which I have deleted. I kept the names of all musicians listed here – but removed defective links. Some resources have moved from the web to Facebook or YouTube. Try a link and see what you get.  If you get a 404 error, try the site’s home page, or do a web search to see if there is a new location.  If all else fails, try the Internet Archive’s WayBack Machine  and look on social media. I am slowly trying to delete completely defunct links, and am adding new ones when possible.

Eco-Music Resources

• Listen to the Earth, a collaboration of MUSE, Earthday.FM Radio, and the Wild Wind Foundation, is an all volunteer effort promoting songs with an environmental message, and honoring musicians who inspire environmental awareness. The site lists nearly 5,000 songs, with a database that spans more than six decades, diverse genres, and many countries, and includes both well-known and lesser known singer/songwriters from all walks of life.

• Conservation Music – An international campaign focused on using the catalytic power of music to confront environmental breakdown and humanitarian disaster in the developing world and beyond. The focus is currently on Africa but hopes to expand globally. See their website for several videos of music focused on sustainable development, performed by musicians from several African countries. 
• Earthsong – a companion organization to Conservation Music focused on producing educational media, developing classroom resources, hosting live workshops, and providing tools and training to artists, activists, and educators seeking to make a difference through the unique power of music. These two organizations will work together very closely as Earthsong carries on the programmatic arm of their work, and Conservation Music continues to publish the remainder of its unreleased educational media productions.
