Ecological light pollution
ID: ecological-light-pollution
Ecological light pollution refers to the adverse effects of artificial light on wildlife and natural ecosystems. It occurs when artificial light disrupts the natural darkness of the environment, impacting the behaviors, physiology, and habitats of various organisms. This type of light pollution is particularly significant in urban areas, where excessive and poorly designed lighting can interfere with the natural cycles of day and night.
