Dani Robertson, the UK’s first and only Dark Sky Officer, is on a mission to tackle light pollution and protect the night skies in Eryri National Park and beyond. With artificial lighting worsening each year, and 98 per cent of the UK population now living under light-polluted skies, Dani said: “Light pollution is the issue no one has heard of. It’s on par with climate change and global warming – but it’s the one we are all impacted by. We can’t lose any more darkness. We can’t afford to.
“We’ve done so much work in Eryri and Wales. We are world leaders in this, so I think we should aim big and dream big. There’s definitely potential for Cymru to become the world’s first Dark Sky Nation.
“We can all do something – even a small change can have a really big impact on light pollution. It’s really as simple as the flip of a switch.”
