Sometimes, a little less light can mean a lot more protection for wildlife. On the evening of Nov. 6, a special lights-out event took place at Futian Mangrove Ecological Park in Shenzhen. More than 80 Chinese and international participants joined forces to call for darker, more natural nights in wetlands and safer journeys for migratory birds. Now, Shenzhen is inviting more cities around the world to dim their lights and help protect these long-distance travelers.
