Buglife - The Invertebrate Conservation Trust - Don't Neglect the Night
Buglife’s “Don’t Neglect the Night” campaign highlights the overlooked value of nocturnal ecosystems and pushes for their inclusion in conservation policy. The campaign won rapid cross-party political support after launch, prompting parliamentary questions on light pollution and the first Scottish Parliament motion recognising the nocturnal environment, demonstrating clear political traction. Public interest and enquiries have continued to grow, boosting community engagement and awareness of actionable steps to reduce light pollution. By targeting measures under Scotland’s Natural Environment Act and advocating monitoring and reduction targets, the campaign has created a policy-ready foundation to protect nocturnal habitats ahead of the new Parliament.
