Plants and animals depend on natural light cycles to govern life-sustaining behaviors such as reproduction, nourishment, sleep, and protection from predators. Artificial light at night negatively affects the overall health of many creatures including humans, contributing to the decline of biodiversity worldwide. Lights at night during bird migration cause collisions resulting in a large decrease in bird populations with up to a billion deaths per year!
