Abstract
The guidelines raise awareness of the impacts of artificial light on wildlife. They can help you protect Australia’s threatened wildlife.
The guidelines include:
- a framework for how to assess and manage the light pollution impacts on protected wildlife
- detailed guidance for how to manage artificial light
- specific advice on how to protect marine turtles, seabirds and migratory shorebirds.
In 2023, the guidelines were updated and now also include specific advice on how to protect bats, terrestrial mammals and ecological communities.
