Human-caused noise and light can threaten the ecological integrity of the natural environment and diminish our enjoyment of national parks and protected areas.
This anthology presents and synthesizes important research that helps inform protection and management of natural quiet and natural darkness.
Chapters address the biological, ecological, and experiential components of these increasingly valuable resources.
The final chapter develops a series of principles for studying and managing natural quiet and natural darkness in national parks and related reserves.
