The Archipelago Sieged by Light Pollution and Dark Sky as a Strategy: The Matsu Story with Axiou Lin

The 2022 Global Conference was an amazing 24 hours full of dark sky advocates sharing their stories and efforts to protect the night. Under One Sky showcased the environmental and cultural threat that light pollution poses to people who have been underrepresented in the work to defend the night.

Axiou is a dedicated dark sky advocate and the Chairperson of the Taiwan dark sky association (TDA), head of IDA’s Taiwan chapter, and a member of IDA’s International Committee (2021-2022). In his presentation, Axiou will share how the local people and government of Matsu, Taiwan (located on the front lines of geopolitical and lighting intrusion) launched a dark sky program to protect the tranquility of the night and redefine the new value in this dire strait.
