Light pollution measurements : nice report

I founnd this report: Click !

Nice results, it seems that there are fortunately lots of really dark sites. Australia is favorable with most part of the country having pristine skies.
I live in a country with 43% of the surface in the red zone (my home is in yellow).

Thanks for posting this. Good to have up to date data. Not nice to see so much degradation over the past 5 or so years. I'll have to make time to seek out darker skies to see for myself. Though from my past experience I already got the impression that what used to be amazing dark skies have turned to just okay skies.
