" Someone demand to tell those rhinos they call for to get engaged . We ’re cheering for them . "
Thanks to the cold weather (and the fact it gets dark way too early), I think we’re all in need of some cheering up…
So, when I saw thatu/Orikrin1998asked “what is something GOOD going on in the world that a lot of people aren’t aware of?” I decided to round up some of the best answers:
1.“They’re successfully rewilding beavers in the UK.”
2.“An eastern black rhino was just born, a complete surprise to the rangers who protect the 1,000 remaining in the community.”
