Reading List and Meeting Dates
MAY 6
The Darkness Manifesto: On Light Pollution, Night Ecology, and the Ancient Rhythms That Sustain Life by Johan Eklöf
Habitat loss, climate change and overuse of agricultural chemicals take a huge toll on wildlife and biodiversity. Johan Eklöf, a Swedish bat scientist, argues that the loss of darkness in our zeal for light at night is just as serious. Combining scientific evidence with rich animal behavioral description, The Darkness Manifesto outlines the global campaign against light pollution, while there’s still something left to save in the dark night.
