«La noche también es naturaleza» invites you to discover the life that wakes up when the sun goes down and to find out how artificial lighting affects our surroundings. The activity has two parts: a participatory workshop on surprising night-time life, focused on bats, insects and nocturnal pollinators, and a walk through different streets to explore light intensity and types of lighting and to reflect on their effects on nature. It is part of the Proactivas project.
It takes place on Wednesday 28 October at the Institutos Bahá’í, Calle Sebastián Padrón Acosta 3, in the El Botánico area of Puerto de la Cruz: the participatory workshop runs from 18:30 to 19:30 and the night walk from 19:30 to 20:30. Prior registration is required through the online form provided by the organisers (asociacionaisa.org). The activity is organised by the bodies that make up the Proactivas project: the Sustainability department of Puerto de la Cruz Town Council, the Environmental Participation and Volunteering Office of the Cabildo de Tenerife, and Cruz Roja (the Red Cross).
