In Mexico, there is a growing concern for the care of the environment based on criteria of human health and preservation of organisms that inhabit the territory. This statement can be exemplified by the regulations on air, noise, water and soil. However, little has been done to regulate artificial lighting from the environment, given that the increase in use of nocturnal artificial light has negative consequences on the biological processes of organisms that are bared to overexposure. Considering that artificial lighting is related to population growth and urbanization, this document relates this phenomenon in the local space and emphasizes the importance of establishing lighting planning considering local parameters. For this, we conduct a geographical analysis of cities in Mexico, from the needs of protection of biodiversity that are presented in them, from the Protected Natural Areas.Downloads
