Dark-Sky Parks
There are presently 37 dark sky parks around the world.
A dark sky park needs to be located close enough for the public to be able to reach and to return back home the same day. No over-night camping. Such park may not be dark enough for astronomy but this is where the most people live. It is to the public we need to promote the idea of night sky protection. At the same time better lighting practices must be also initiated in urban ares close by.
