  • The potential of citizen science to transform science

    Open AccessK Austen, Annelli Janssen et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Globally, environmental crises are at a critical point. Findings from scientific research are crucial to understand these issues and to inform new policies to address them. Yet the rapidity with which society, industry and lifestyles are changing is not matched in dynamism by institutionalised science, where institutional structures slow the rate of adaptation. In this paper, we propose that citizen science can act as a bridge between the ideal a…

  • Citizen science’s transformative impact on science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processes

    Open AccessJulia von Gönner, Thora Martina Herrmann et al.ARTICLESocio-Ecological Practice Research2023

    Citizen science (CS) can foster transformative impact for science, citizen empowerment and socio-political processes. To unleash this impact, a clearer understanding of its current status and challenges for its development is needed. Using quantitative indicators developed in a collaborative stakeholder process, our study provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of CS in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Our online survey with 340 …

  • A plea for a worldwide development of dark infrastructure for biodiversity – Practical examples and ways to go forward

    Open AccessRomain Sordello, Samuel Busson et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2022

    Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been massively deployed worldwide and has become a major environmental pressure for biodiversity, especially contributing to habitat loss and landscape fragmentation. To mitigate these latter, green and blue infrastructure policies have been developed throughout the world based on the concept of ecological networks, a set of suitable interconnected habitats. However, currently, these nature conservation polici…

  • Urban Lighting Research Transdisciplinary Framework—A Collaborative Process with Lighting Professionals

    Open AccessCatherine Pérez Vega, Karolina M Zielińska-Dąbkowska et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Over the past decades, lighting professionals have influenced the experience of the night by brightly illuminating streets, buildings, skylines, and landscapes 24/7. When this became the accepted norm, a dual perspective on night-time was shaped and the visual enjoyment of visitors after dusk was prioritized over natural nightscapes (nocturnal landscapes). During this time, researchers of artificial light at night (ALAN) observed and reported a g…
