The Zoological Lighting Institute

The Zoological Lighting Institute works for a healthy and vibrant luminous environment. Earthly life evolved under a remarkably broad range of natural lighting conditions, which change dramatically under artificial light. These changes lead directly to biodiversity loss, by degrading the environmental conditions of animals.
As advocates for wildlife sensitive design practices in zoos, aquariums and the environment, we promote understanding of the luminous environment, day and night. We do this through active research support and public programming, aiming to create a grass-roots movement to enhance animal welfare and nocturnal habitat conservation efforts.
