Dark Skies: Impact of Light Pollution
A talk exploring the benefits of dark skies
about
Want to bring that twinkle back into our night skies, and make Yarun a night-time happy place for people and nature? Get all the tips for healthy dark skies from BINF25’s sky doctor!
Join us as we explore the many benefits of preserving dark skies over Bribie Island. Discover how reducing light pollution helps protect local wildlife, supports human health, and enhances the island’s natural charm. Learn how simple, community-driven actions—like using shielded lighting and lowering unnecessary outdoor illumination—can restore our view of the stars and strengthen protections for our island sanctuary. Darker nights benefit everyone, from nesting turtles to stargazing residents, and contribute to a more sustainable, peaceful environment. Be part of a brighter future by helping us reclaim the night sky.
