I had the privilege of growing up in a quiet mountain village where children in the evening could sit on the street, still warm from the sun, and look at a dark blue sky full of stars. I loved starry nights, even more when I was lucky enough to see a shooting star or fireflies. Today, reading an article on Mount Ainos and its entry in the IDSP (International Dark Site Park) register, I realized that, although I have grown up and I am in a place totally different from the one I was born in, I am still among the lucky few who in Summer can admire incredible starry nights (as well as bats, birds and other wonderful creatures that populate the night) simply by raising their eyes to the sky. Although in many places today it is no longer possible to clearly see the stars and constellations due to light pollution, throughout the world there are parks certified by the NGO International Dark-Sky Association which are committed to conserving and safeguarding the natural darkness of sky and with it to protect the environments and species closely linked to it.

Ho avuto il privilegio di crescere in un tranquillo paesino di montagna dove i bambini la sera potevano sedersi sulla strada ancora calda per il sole e guardare un cielo blu scuro pienissimo di stelle. Amavo le notti stellate, ancora di più quando avevo la fortuna di vedere una stella cadente o delle lucciole. Oggi leggendo un articolo sul Monte Ainos e la sua iscrizione del registro IDSP (International Dark Site Park) mi sono resa conto che, per quanto cresciuta e in un posto totalmente diverso da quello in cui sono nata, sono ancora tra i pochi fortunati che in estate può ammirare incredibili notti stellate (ma anche pipistrelli, uccelli ed altre creature meravigliose che popolano la notte) semplicemente alzando gli occhi al cielo. Anche se in molti luoghi oggi non è più possibile vedere chiaramente le stelle e le costellazioni a casa dell’inquinamento luminoso, in tutto il mondo esistono parchi certificati dalla ONG International Dark-Sky Association che si impegnano a conservare e salvaguardare l'oscurità naturale del cielo e con essa a proteggere gli ambienti e le specie ad essa strettamente collegati.
