Explanation:

The passage describes how artificial lights disrupt animals like frogs (affecting their mating and population), sea turtle babies, and migrating birds. By showing the negative impact on these animals from a human - caused factor (artificial light), it aims to make the reader feel sorry for the animals. It's not about showing nature as humorous (no funny elements), not about emphasizing humans' need for darkness (focus is on animals), and there's no indication of establishing LaDuke as an expert (no credentials or extensive biological knowledge display).

Answer:

to evoke sympathy for the animals by showing their perspective
