notes

ensuring i read some good news too.

also a good reminder that good things take big decisions and a lot of continued effort, maintenance and focus that goes unnoticed. but its worth it and more realistic than the often circulated stories that have the opposite takeaway.

summary

Endangered sea turtles show signs of recovery in a majority of places where they’re found worldwide, according to a new global survey released Thursday. The study looked at 48 populations of sea turtles around the world and measured the impacts of threats such as hunting, pollution, coastal development and climate change to the marine animals. In more than half of the areas studied, threats are declining overall, the study found.
