Thank you for spreading the word about this hazard. And welcome to Substack; I'm fairly new on the platform and love connecting to my fellow nature lovers!

Thank you, Karen, for your kind words! Your Substack looks very fascinating, too! I immediately saved your post on Archaeopteryx to my reading list. I studied in Berlin, where they have the famous Berlin-specimen of the Archaeopteryx, which I’ve visited like dozens of times over the years. It is so special every time again to see that beautiful fossil.

Man, we sure make it hard on the beings we share the planet with. I do think about the lights that burn at night. December can get especially bright at night where we live with all the Christmas lights. I wonder how it impacts all the birds migrating at that time of year, the ducks and gulls, etc.

Yes, same here in Belgium. During Christmastime, people go crazy with all their lights. I’m sure this is doing much harm to the animal world in general.

Thank you for this. It’s easy to write off light pollution in the scheme of pollutions but you do a wonderful job explaining the real consequences.
