Light Pollution

By Tracy Abler, Justice Coordinator

Plants and animals depend on Earth’s daily cycle of light and dark to govern life-sustaining behaviors such as reproduction, nourishment, sleep and protection from predators.

The International Dark-Sky Association restores the nighttime environment and protects communities from the harmful effects of light pollution through outreach, advocacy, and conservation.
