Hortobágy National Park

Hortobágy National Park, recognized as one of the darkest areas in Hungary and recently designated as an International Dark Sky Park, plays a crucial role in protecting both nocturnal biodiversity and the quality of the night sky. Light pollution poses significant threats to these aspects, necessitating specialized monitoring efforts. A unique program employs digital cameras to survey nocturnal species and track night sky conditions, while public engagement is fostered through stargazing night walks, drawing substantial interest from the general population.
