Artificial Light at Night

Despite Australia's expanse of dark sk ies, it has only one designated Dark Sky Place - The Warrumbungle National Park. Dedicated in 2016 the pristine night skies over the national park joi ned the International Dark Sky Association's growing global movement of ove r 100 other parks around the world. Seduced by the astro-tourism an increas ing number of families, campers, bushwalkers and enthusiasts are visiting t he park. They are now joined by a new interest group - scientists.
Wit h the advent of LED lights and technological breakthroughs councils have a new way to reduce their bottom line, governments can reduce their carbon fo otprint and industries operate 24/7, but what impact is it having on human and environmental health and well-being?
Ecologists, oncologists and chronobiologists are increasingly uniting to with the message of the import ance of our night-time environment. Why, and what can you do to help preser ve this precious resource?
