Wonderful news!
h4tp.bsky.social Hope For The Planet @h4tp.bsky.social · Oct 22
Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

Since 2013, a mysterious epidemic wiped out billions of sea stars. A new study finally identifies the culprit.

Usually I only see turtles sunning in the pond but we found this guy just off the trail digging in the sand! (He had plenty of space I just zoomed in with the camera)

Got to visit one of my dad’s favorite spots from when he was in college - the tidepools at Dana Point - and found my first Spanish Shawl nudibranch 🥹

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
