Résumé
There currently exists 44 dark sky parks and reserves (also known as “starlight reserves”. Rarely created from nothing, they are often founded within already protected spaces (natural monuments, national parks, biosphere reserves…) whose protective measures are thus increased to include starry skies and nocturnal environments. Parks encompass the area in its entirety whereas reserves designate a core protected area within a larger space. Their creation illustrates the emergence of new forms of protection and the development of natural heritage whose concepts are rapidly spreading throughout European countries.
