Conservation Corner September: Embrace Darkness to Illuminate the Path Forward

In the September edition of “Conservation Corner,” the Boone Country Connection emphasizes the importance of the “Lights Out” initiative, which urges communities to reduce outdoor lighting to protect migratory birds and other wildlife. The campaign aims to create awareness about light pollution and its harmful effects on local ecosystems, particularly during migration seasons when birds are at risk of disorientation. By participating in this initiative, residents are encouraged to turn off unnecessary lights and promote a darker environment that fosters biodiversity. The article explores strategies for implementing “Lights Out” practices in homes and public spaces, highlighting the role of collaboration in achieving conservation goals.
