Reports from here and there.....

World Bee populations are in a positive recovery phase with upgraded conservation and mitigated pesticide use.

*as we all know no bees/no good

Whales are (re)appearing in Ocean regions where they have not been seen in decades.

Global Tiger populations have shown documented increases for the first time in 100 years.

Ditto Mountain Gorilla populations.

Ethiopian Green Legacy Campaign recently planyed 700 million trees in a single day with a goal of 50 billion planted by y/e 2026.

Not always a good thing. There is a humpback whale that has gotten stuck in the Baltic. It has stranded several times, and been rescued. It now has severe fungus infections on its skin, due to the water in the Baltic being brackish and not as salty as the Atlantic. If it doesn't manage to find its way back to the Atlantic it will starve to death within a couple of weeks as there is nowhere near enough plankton in the Baltic.

The Baltic is fairly barren. Most fish and other aquatic animals are adapted either to salt water or fresh water.
Very few are comfortable living in the brackish waters of the Baltic. It's too salty for fresh water species and not salty enough for salt water species.

The only "whale" indigenous to the Baltic is the harbour porpoise.
Bigger whales just can't find enough food to live here.


But yeah, generally speaking - it's good!

World Bee populations are in a positive recovery phase with upgraded conservation and mitigated pesticide use.

The thing about commercial beekeeping is that it is about unnatural as it comes. Their existence is entirely dependent on humans to limit mite infestations and treat for other diseases. If left alone for 12-24 months, surely all colonies would die off.

Wild bee populations don't have these issues. Wild bees are also much more efficient at pollination than commercial bees, but of course it's not possible to concentrate their population to the levels necessary to pollinate blueberry fields and almond orchards.

I hope your positive news refers to the wild bees.
