A brief note from last week’s Artificial Light At Night 2025 conference: several biology and ecology researchers made the point in their talks that there is no “wildlife friendly” lighting product (other than the one that is never installed to begin with). And they’re now avoiding that term, and related (e.g., “bat-friendly”) altogether. Instead, they using terms like “wildlife-aware” or “night-sky aware” — not “friendly”. It reflects a growing consensus that all artificial light at night is pollution, and that the main issue at hand is how much of that pollution society is willing to tolerate.

@sundogplanets I'm glad you feel it's working! We found the last time around that the Gather environment allowed a lot more interaction than e.g. Zoom breakout rooms.

But organizing a hybrid conference was a huge headache. I think it's unlikely that #ALAN2025 will work the same way.
