The link between artificial light at night, street lights, light pollution, biodiversity destruction, nocturnal fauna, bats, insects, and birds is becoming more evident in modern environmental science.
It has been suggested that too much light during the night not only causes comfort for humans but also becomes a serious threat to the environment.
Research concerning artificial light at night (ALAN) suggests that street lights interfere with the migratory patterns, food gathering, reproductive activity, and sleep of many creatures.
