Light pollution threatens animal life around the world

A few weeks ago, from April 5-12, we celebrated International Dark Sky Week, to raise awareness of the negative effects of light pollution and dark sky defenders connect to protect the night sky. Light pollution is caused by improper lighting fixtures resulting in invasive light glow that fades the stars and reduces the average person’s ability to view the Milky Way. International Dark Sky Week was created in 2003, by a then-high school student, Jennifer Barlow from Virginia, and has grown to an annual worldwide event. The event is held during the New Moon, when skies are at their darkest and stars are more visible. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to turn off their lights and enjoy the beauty of the night sky.

Wales leads the way in challenging light pollution

In February 2013, the Brecon Beacons National Park achieved the status of being classed as an International Dark Sky Reserve, the first of its kind in Wales and only the fifth of its kind in the world at the time. The attribute of being given reserve status is protect natural surroundings from the encroaching problem of light pollution, ensuring that the area is able to offer exceptional starry nights as well as being specifically protected for scientific, natural, educational, cultural, heritage and public enjoyment.
