Jizera Dark-Sky Park is the world's first transnational dark sky preserve, located in a largely uninhabited part of the Jizera Mountains straddling the border between Poland and the Czech Republic. It works to inform the public about light pollution while also protecting the area's nature and environment. Disclosed low confidence: the fetched lead names no explicit IUCN category for this light-pollution-focused designation; Protected Landscape and Seascape is a closest fit.
