Kita telah mengubah lingkungan saat malam hari dengan singkat, dibandingkan skala waktu evolusioner. Satwa liar tidak punya waktu beradaptasi dengan ini.

We have transformed the night-time environment in a very short time, relative to evolutionary timescales. Most wildlife hasn’t had time to adjust.
Artificial islands that are now mushrooming across the ocean are regarded as ‘engineering marvels’. But, little attention is paid to how these human-made structures affect sea life.
Light pollution is changing the day-night cycle of some fish, dramatically affecting their feeding behaviour.
We’ve building in the sea for centuries, and it’s putting our oceans out of balance.
Urban sprawl has spread to the sea, as more and more man-made structures are being built along the world’s coastlines. Just as we do on land, we need to think about how to build sustainably at sea.
