Who is leading the campaign

The Campaign for Dark Skies Network (CfDS Network) represents a fresh approach to the UK's anti-light pollution movement. This membership-driven organization harnesses social media, online meetings, and democratic campaign decisions informed by opinion polls. The primary aim of the campaign for dark skies is to support individuals eager to engage in local actions that help protect night skies and combat light pollution.

Founded in 1989 by Bob Mizon under the British Astronomical Association, the Commission for Dark Skies (CfDS) was established to address light pollution through public education, policy guidance, and community support. After the passing of Bob Mizon in April 2023, former committee members and new volunteers united to carry on his vision, resulting in the relaunch of the Campaign for Dark Skies Network (CFDS Network). This initiative ensures that the mission to protect night skies remains a priority.
