Space exploration is becoming increasingly privatized, leading to congestion and environmental degradation in low-Earth orbits, profoundly impacting astronomical observations, ecosystems, and Indigenous communities.
The brightening night skies due to rising ground-based light pollution result in significant losses of dark skies, which already affect astronomical practices and the health of many ecosystems.
Indigenous communities are facing growing impacts from space exploration issues, as their scientific-cultural practices and sky traditions are disrupted, highlighting the need for advocacy to preserve our shared heritage.
Space is an ancestral global commons; the skies symbolize our collective heritage, emphasizing the urgent need for protection and advocacy as we navigate the privatization of space.
