A new study from the University of Vienna shows that light pollution is increasing even in the darkest corners of the country. What negative consequences this has for people, animals and plants – and how some regions are now doing everything they can to combat this.
Anyone who thinks that light pollution only affects how well or poorly stars appear in the night sky is wrong. “Artificial lighting affects our health, but wildlife also suffers. In diurnal animals, light pollution disrupts their nighttime sleep, many nocturnal animals have poor orientation, reproduction or foraging behavior, and even plants show reactions,” says Stefan Wallner from the University of Vienna.
