What is a dark night park?
The design of the dark night park originates from the light pollution of the city, and the night sky of the major cities and villages has been flooded by artificial lights. Humans have long lost the pleasure of watching the stars, and insects, birds and other creatures have lost their way. Artificial day not only destroys the ecological environment, but also has a negative impact on human health, and the cultural loss is inestimable.
The fall of the night aroused resistance to artificial lights around the world. Star watchers, environmentalists, lighting engineers, cultural researchers and sleeping pills all want to end artificial daylight rule. Some countries have also promulgated relevant laws and regulations. In recent years, the American-based International Night Association has also made various efforts to this end. It gave the title of International Night Park to Cherry Springs National Park in Pennsylvania.
