Abstract

The term photopollution is proposed for artificial light having adverse effects on wildlife. The differences between natural and artificial light are discussed in relation to the concepts of orientation, disorientation, misorientation and abnormal orientation. Conventional remedies against hazards of photopollution are critically reviewed and new ones are suggested.
