Tyrol Competence Center on Light Pollution and Dark Skies
Artificial light at night not only affects numerous animal species (bats, birds, moths, etc.), light pollution also causes the starry sky to disappear and disrupts human well-being and health.
Since 1999, the Tyrolean Environmental Ombudsman has been campaigning for the careful use of artificial light in outdoor spaces. This has led to fruitful collaborations with partners from various disciplines such as astronomy, lighting technology, medicine, and environmental protection and nature conservation in Austria and Europe.
