Little-Known US Agency Tackles Light Pollution Faces Funding Cuts

The Trump administration’s potential cuts to the U.S. Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division (NSNSD) threaten vital efforts to combat noise and light pollution in national parks. Advocates highlight the division’s essential role in preserving nighttime environments crucial for wildlife, including the protection of migratory birds and insect populations. Established in 2000, the NSNSD has led initiatives to improve lighting and reduce disturbances in parks like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone, enhancing both ecological integrity and visitor experiences. With the proposed budget for the National Park Service facing drastic reductions, critics express concern that the valuable work of the NSNSD could be severely undermined, limiting the agency’s ability to fulfill its mandate to protect cultural and natural resources.
