About this Event
Light pollution adversely impacts people, wildlife and our ecosystem services, and is a rapidly growing problem as levels of Artificial Light at Night (ALaN) have increased more than 49% in the last 30 years. In 2019 Worcester’s “red light district for bats” made national headlines. Worcestershire's ‘dark corridors’, amber and red lighting trials all feature as case studies in the 2023 guidance for lighting professionals (Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) / Institute of Lighting Professionals (ILP) GN08/23 ‘Guidance Note for Bats and Lighting’). Cody will talk about the implications of ALaN on bats (and broader biodiversity), and reveals more about Worcestershire’s approaches to ‘wildlife-sensitive’ lighting.
