A plan to save Bali's lost fireflies
Wayan Wardika, who caught fireflies as a boy in Bali's rice fields before his village had electricity, found them gone four decades later. In 2020 he launched Bring Back the Light, Indonesia's only firefly conservation effort, breeding the insects for release and urging neighboring farmers to quit chemical fertilizer and pesticide for organic methods. Four farmers have joined; tours and organic produce fund the work.
