Congratulations to everyone connected with the effort to have Beaver Island named as one of only 20 Dark Sky Sanctuaries in the world! Woo-hoo!

Thanks for posting and thanks for helping! We did it with your help too!
The most important concept of becoming the Number 20 sanctuary in the world is that our existence creates a new awareness about the phenomenal rarity of truly dark skies that remain light pollution-free. We now have the responsibility and the power to educate more broadly across the world that light pollution is preventable, that there are solutions, and that preserving dark skies is crucial to the survival of many species and beneficial to all.
