If you are at all like me you probably get sick and tired of the seemingly endless stream of bad news we are constantly fed via the major media sources. Personally I regard it as very unhealthy and generally bad for us to be inundated with negativity, no matter in what form or dose. I have in fact reached a point where I usually avoid much of mainstream media and make a conscious effort to give attention only to positive news and topics. Of course I can’t claim to have abandoned all news and Facebook inevitably still confronts me with material I prefer to pass over without clicking on the headline.
However, I still check out ‘The Guardian’ newspaper for example; I guess it is a case of old habits die hard. I was especially pleased to find two current articles featuring good news on the wildlife survival front and demonstrating the remarkable ability of some species to successfully adapt to change very quickly. Given the emphasis on climate change and the long-term survival of Homo sapiens, or not, it’s reassuring to reflect that even if we as a specie don’t make it through the 21st century other species will, and no one can deny surely, they are far more deserving of survival!
