About

NGO "Carpe Noctem" is the first organization in Serbia that has been founded with the main purpose to tackle the issue of light pollution of the environment. Our activities are ranging from purely promotional and informational towards educational. Moreover, most of our members are scientists and they're actively contributing to the cause by organizing research field trips to educate younger colleagues and any other interested members how to measure light pollution and about the phenomena in general.
One of our regular and very popular activities are Astro hikings - where we gather a group of interested people and take them on hiking during the night (usually when there's some interesting astronomical event) and talk about light pollution problems in the environment.
