The conference took place on June 18 in Maynooth University
The Leinster Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) Conference brought together local authorities from across Leinster and beyond to explore practical ways to reduce light pollution, protect dark skies, save energy and support biodiversity.
The event was led by Biodiversity Officers from across the region and chaired by Dr. Méabh Boylan, Biodiversity Officer with Kildare County Council.
Artificial light at night can disrupt the natural light cycles that many species rely on to navigate, feed, breed and rest.
Bats, birds, fish, and other nocturnal wildlife can be affected by excessive or poorly directed lighting.
