Cross-border efforts to reduce light pollution and preserve natural darkness for the health and stability of biodiversity

For local communities, nature conservation bodies, schools, and sustainable tourism stakeholders in the cross-border region,
who need effective solutions to reduce light pollution and protect nocturnal wildlife, ecosystems, and human well-being,
we implement a cross-border initiative, combining joint assessment, awareness raising, pilot actions, and strategic planning to restore natural darkness.
With our help, they can reduce light pollution, protect biodiversity, engage communities and schools, while creating new opportunities for dark-sky education and astro-tourism.
Our solution is better than isolated measures,
because it unites cross-border expertise, science-based mapping, and community engagement into a coordinated framework that lays the groundwork for a future cross-border DarkSky Community.
