Many animals rely on darkness to rest, feed, move safely and find their way. But artificial light can disturb these natural rhythms, including for migratory species like sea turtles, bats & birds. Watch this video to learn how small changes at home and in our communities can help protect wildlife.

We should promote wildlife-friendly lighting: less light where it isn't needed, warmer colour temperatures, proper shielding and motion sensors. Small changes can make a big difference.
