The Wildlife Lighting Certification Program is a cooperative
effort between the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service designed to educate the members of the public, the
building industry, and government officials how to minimize adverse impacts to
wildlife by using proper lighting methods

pollution is a serious threat to many types of wildlife. Each year, artificial
lights cause disruption of behavior, injury and death to thousands of migrating

invertebrates. To read more about the effects of lighting on these
