Maheso Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 With the news headlines dominated by depressing statistics and stories of human suffering, as a result of the ongoing global pandemic, there’s no doubt that many will want to consign 2020, the world’s annus horribilis, to the dustbin of history just as fast as they can. However, in doing so they might miss some important good news that has given animal lovers everywhere the opportunity to celebrate. International wildlife charity, Born Free, has released details of 20 animal welfare and conservation successes to help spread a little cheer as 2020 comes to a close After many years of campaigning, France announced that it will introduce a ban on the use of wild animals in circuses. It has also signalled an end to the keeping of dolphins and orcas in captivity, and banned mink farms. According to the Kenya government, the official estimate for the number of lions living in in the country has increased by 25%, from 2,000 in 2010 to 2,489 – fantastic news for a species conservationists fear may be heading for extinction across much of its wild range. https://kateonconservation.com/2020/12/31/20-positive-wildlife-stories-for-2020/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
