So we need to change the system� We need to reflect, rethink and harmonise our behaviour and our relationship with the plan- etary boundaries and translate them into a language everybody can understand to join the essential change� Following nature’s design� In a densely populated region like North-western Europe, we face many problems due to fragmentation� We lack real connectivity: for men as well as for species� The way we harmonise transporta- tion and nature can direct us towards a sustainable future� Is it possible to connect the dots and re-connect us? Yes, we can! 4 The impact of infrastructure lighting: Spectrum dependent effects on Kamiel Spoelstra1, Roy H. A. van behaviour and density of species in Grunsven2, Maurice Donners3, Elmar M.
