12/10/2020- Dark Sky Special Part Four(Full Version) – Sibylle Schroer 1:08:54

Sibylle Schroer is an ecologist from IGB, and joined us to discuss the role the increasing amounts of light at night plays in the experience of human and non-human wildlife.

We discussed citizen science and the need for multidisciplinary approaches in the field as well as the barriers in perceived security and legislation. What emerges in the conversation is a need for night studies, not just late economics, but a genuine understanding of the purpose for each light turned on outside at night. We can create something that helps shift workers, respects wildlife, and is useful for safety needs.

Change happens faster than you think, we can come to better understanding of exterior lighting and create systems that make more sense.
