It's paper day! 📄 In this @ucdavis Environmental Law and Policy Journal review with my colleagues Profs. Dana Zartner and Aparna Venkatesan (University of San Francisco), we propose new strategies that "use domestic legal mechanisms, supported by international law, to protect the darkness."

The Right to the Night: New Legal Advocacy Strategies to Address Terrestrial Light Pollution Dana Zartner, Aparna Venkatesan, and John Barentine' We are losing the night. While this may seem like a strange statement, it reflects a growing reality that could severely impact many living things on Earth. The global spread of eleciric lights, combined with the round-the-clock nature of life and the launch of thousands of satellites, has rapidly “lightened” our world. Light pollution has increased so dramatically that, within a single generation, approximately half of the stars in the night sky visible to the unaided eye will disappear from view. This loss of darkness is having significant impacts on nearly all living things, including human health, animal behavior, and cultural and spiritual practices. Yet, to date, existing domestic and international laws have Jailed to address this urgent issue. In this paper, we propose new strategies that use domestic legal mechanisms, supported by international law, to protect the darkness. By combining the fields of law and astronomy, we outline three legal approaches to protect the night sky, each based on the concept of righs: individual rights, community rights, and rights of Nature. These approaches differ from those commonly used, particularly in the United States, but we argue they may provide better opportunities for communities to address the increasingly harmful amount of light pollution brightening the darkness.

If you've followed me for a while, you're probably aware of my interest in the 'Rights of Nature' legal movement, especially as it may apply to protecting dark night skies around the world.

Here's a great summary article on the current status of RoN around the world by James Salzman (UCLA School of Law) published today: legal-planet.org/2024/12/03/si

October 22, 2024

"#CaseyCampHorinek, #Ponca, is at COP16 in Cali, Colombia today. "The Ponca Nation is on the ground here at COP16 in Colombia, trying to raise up the issue of #FalseSolutions to the climate conference, like #CarbonCredits and #BiodiversityCredits that are killing #nature.' She said #FossilFuels must be phased out.

"The #PoncaNation is among the nations of the world that have followed #Ecuador's lead and recognized the #RightsOfNature by law.
Casey Camp-Horinek, Ponca, spoke today on false solutions, including carbon credits which allow #corporations to continue and #pollute. 'Don't give them permission to murder.'"

This is #Canada's #mining industry: "They violate the #humanrights of #Indigenouspeople, they violate the #rightsofNature and they violate our right to self govern...In other words, the impacts translate into# pollution. Our #waters are polluted, our land is contaminated. We can no longer work on our land. In addition to this, women are threatened. They are judicialized. They are subjected to #violence." cbc.ca/news/indigenous/ecuador
