Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
An ecological crisis occurs when changes to the environment of a species or population destabilizes its continued survival.  A few possible causes include:

Degradation of an abiotic ecological factor (for example, increase of temperature, less significant rainfalls)
Increased pressures from predation
Rise in the number of individuals (overpopulation)The evolutionary theory of punctuated equilibrium sees infrequent ecological crises as a potential driver of rapid evolution.
