To this end a big concern of mine is the proliferation of artificial night-light.
There is a 2019 Australian scientific weblink which shows this is increasing across the world by 2% every year.
Here you will read of the many, many species of plants and animals - from the microscopic small and insignificant to the mightiest whales and trees that need naturally dark nights and the pull of the moon and moonlit nights.
The report is beautiful in itself and quite 'illuminating'. Do take a peepo.

Should we be alarmed? I know I am.
