Lighting v. Nature Debated at 'Joined up Lighting'

摘要

June's 'Joined up Lighting' in London (sponsored on this occasion by iGuzzini UK) took up the rather vexed issue of lighting's effects on wildlifern- and what can be done to mitigate them. Martin Hicks of the Hertfordshire Biological Records Centre opened the proceedings with a fact-filled broadside on exterior lighting and its damaging effects on many kinds of wildlife, including bats, frogs, trout and even plantsrn- and in his conclusions he called on planners to consider ecological processes in their decisions on new developments.
