Lunchtime Talk. “Starving for Darkness: How Exterior Lighting Impacts Wildlife” | 1.0 LA CES

Since the industrial revolution and the invention of the electric light bulb, the natural ecosystems of the Earth spend more and more time bathed in artificial light within a 24-hour cycle. How does the artificial light and lack of darkness impact wildlife? How does the obstruction of the night’s sky affect bird migration, pollination, and reproduction?

Much of the study of light and health has been dedicated to the impact of light upon humans, however animals and plants are also intrinsically photosensitive and subject to the unwanted effects of stray light. How can a rethinking of design and codes alleviate some of these harmful effects?

Join Jane Slade of Speclines for a 1-hour seminar. 1.0 LA CES will be provided.
