52- Fireflies & Starlight with Ben Pfeiffer

Fireflies are magical and mesmerizing. Yet researchers have been telling us that their populations are dwindling. So I chatted with Ben Pfeiffer, founder of the website Firefly.org, to learn more about what’s causing this problem and what we can do to solve it. Many of the measures we take for dark sky preservation apply here, too. Visit NightSkyTourist.com/52 for more information about this episode.
