Map: The Moth

Through trying to deepen our understanding on knowledge about dark sky activism, a group of Emily Carr students and I designed and created a board game to raise awareness on the subject. There are extensive species that rely on the stars and moon to guide and navigate them through migration along journeys, however it becomes difficult and impossible for some with the abundance of light pollution that exists. Light pollution inhibits the species from travelling and moths are a common species that gets confused with the abundance of lights and light pollution. In the board game, you follow the life events of a moth as it experiences various transformations.
