International Dark-Sky Association’s Annual General Meeting

The University of Arizona’s School of Natural Resources and the Environment, Arizona State University’s Global Institute of Sustainability, Northern Arizona University’s College of Engineering, Forestry and Natural Resources, the Arizona Game and Fish Department, and the Arizona Chapter of The Wildlife Society have partnered and are co-sponsoring the International Dark-Sky Association’s Annual General Meeting to be held in Scottsdale, AZ, November 14-15. The 2-day conference will focus on “Impacts of Artificial Night Lighting to Fish and Wildlife Resources and the Mitigating Role of Emerging Lighting Technologies.” This event should be of interest to anyone concerned about light pollution, but it’s also particularly relevant for local, state and federal agencies, science faculty and students, and others whose work involves natural resources and fish and wildlife conservation.

As you will see from the program (link below), the meeting will bring together a wide variety of experts and authorities – including scientists from the U.K. and Australia – on this important and timely subject. We hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn more about the ecological impacts of light pollution, and to meet and interact with some of the world’s leading authorities on the subject.
