Every serving. No expiration date. Page 3 of 3.
Book Bunk and Nairobi City County restored Eastlands and Kaloleni public libraries as free civic hubs. Book Bunk reports patronage up more than 240%.
During one May morning count, Cycling Scotland recorded more bikes than cars on Leith Walk from 8 to 9 a.m.—a first for that route, not a claim about the whole city.
SHE PICKED CALIFORNIA.
Lifeguards were called to an injured turtle near Seal Beach on 16 September. She was not injured. She was digging a nest — and three days later it happened again near the Huntington Beach Pier. NOAA Fisheries says it is the first recorded natural nesting of any sea turtle species on the U.S. West Coast. Both nests are now fenced, signed and monitored.
A WALL THAT BREATHES.
A 200-foot eroded bank at Sebastian Inlet State Park got 22 honeycomb reef arches and up to 90 red mangroves instead of a wall — finished September 10.
FIVE LEFT. STILL HERE.
Karure black robins fell to five birds in 1980. Decades of conservation brought them back to around 350 adults — and on September 21 the species won New Zealand’s 2026 Bird of the Year.
FIFTY YEARS. NO DOG-MEDIATED HUMAN CASES.
Chile became the first South American country validated by WHO for eliminating dog-transmitted rabies as a public-health problem after more than five decades without a dog-mediated human case.
Côte d’Ivoire connected 3.56 million more people…
684,735 new connections. Around 3.56 million more people with access.
184 CHICKS. NEW RECORD.
99 pairs. 184 chicks. Best season since the 1986 endangered listing.
THE HERD GOT BIGGER.
Twenty-three became about 500. Now the herd is helping start other herds.
CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE: 1. POTHOLES: 0.
Two hundred thousand holes became not-holes.
NAMED BY LOCALS FIRST.
Locals already had a name for it. Genomics gave science one.
LOUD AND INCREASING.
285 counted in a single day, almost 100 more than last year.
TWO WIRES, SWITCHED OFF.
The fix was two unpowered wires.
EIGHT POUNDS OF RARE CAT.
Eight pounds of extremely rare cat.
THE MAP WAS THE PROBLEM.
Africa was not small. The map was weird.
SHE WENT BACK. SHE STAYED.
Rescued at 18 months. Rewilded eight years later. Now Lulingu is raising a baby of her own in the forest.
RUBELLA, OFF THE LIST.
Decades of vaccination and surveillance turned a dangerous pregnancy infection into a preventable public-health victory.
653 FROGS, RELOCATED HOME.
653 endangered frogs. Two mountain-stream releases. One species getting a real shot at coming back.
STONE IS LOAD-BEARING AGAIN.
The future of lower-carbon construction might involve a material humans have been stacking for thousands of years.
A BRIDGE JUST FOR DEER.
Washington’s I-90 Snoqualmie Pass wildlife overcrossing recorded its 10,000th successful animal crossing in July. Add 11 undercrossings and the project is nearing 40,000 recorded crossings since 2014. Apparently the elk were just waiting for civil engineering.
THE PARROT SAID NO.
New Zealand’s critically endangered kākāpō population has reached 325, after a record 90 chicks joined the official count this season. The recovery program began in 1995 with just 51 birds. Extremely round bird: still here.
TRACHOMA, REGION-WIDE, GONE.
WHO has validated Timor-Leste’s elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. Because it was the last country in WHO’s South-East Asia Region where the disease was still suspected to be a public-health problem, the entire region has now cleared that threshold.
RELEASE DAY. TEARS INVOLVED.
Crush, a loggerhead found cold-stunned and nearly lifeless on a Jersey beach in January, spent months in rehabilitation before being flown to the Azores, fitted with a satellite tag, and released back into the Atlantic. Good turtle. Good humans. Everybody go home.
RABIES LOST ITS FOOTHOLD.
WHO has validated Bhutan’s elimination of dog-transmitted human rabies as a public-health problem — the first country in WHO’s South-East Asia Region to reach the milestone. Bhutan has gone more than two years without a human death from dog-transmitted rabies. Vaccines, surveillance and people showing up worked.
