Our World Isn't A Total Nightmare And These 39 Things Prove That, As Shared Online

David Attenborough’s still healthy

Not significant for any of you, but pretty significant and REALLY good for me:

After telling my family and friends about the abuse I'm experiencing at home, we're secretly making plans to get me the heck out of here! I even have his friends on my side, and he doesn't suspect a thing.

I found out my dog doesn't have cancer. I about cried when I got the news.

If I'm accepted to law school it will be paid for.

I'm from a very poor background with no professional family members and I may break the chains.

Southern Ocean right whales populations are growing at seven percent a year. Bowhead whale populations have tripled and have almost recovered to pre-exploitation levels. Humpback populations in Australia have recovered and are higher than pre-exploitation.

Others, which haven’t recovered like the Atlantic right whale, have stopped their steep decline and hopefully can start the process of population recovery.

Stopping the practice of whaling is…finally…having a positive effect.

CRISPR treatment has just been FDA approved to cure sickle cell disease

[An Eastern Black Rhino was just born](https://biglife.org/program-updates/big-life-news/not-our-imagination), a complete surprise to the rangers who protect the 1,000 remaining in the wild. They are Critically Endangered, the rarest of the subspecies, and this is a monumental occasion.

There's a rather effective Malaria vaccine, that started distribution this year.

That's kind of huge.

I was at a diner in a small town in Michigan recently, and there were 2 drag queens eating. No one stared or said anything or looked uncomfortable. Based on everything you see in the news and the fact that I was in a part of Michigan that reliably votes Republican I would've expected a reaction, but everyone was cool with it. Gave me a little hope that maybe people are generally better than we think.

My older cat has completely accepted the new kitten I adopted. I’ve become the third wheel at home and I couldn’t be happier about it. Small positive.

many endangered animal species are on the rebound now such as the bald eagle, humpback whales and schaus swallowtail butterflies due to increased conservational efforts

I’m a teacher and my class is super kind and well behaved for the most part. Gives me a little faith in our future.

My local animal shelter has a food bank for owners who can't afford food for their pets. And I'm sure it's not the only shelter that does it.

They're successfully rewilding beavers in the UK.

The ozone layer is thickening!

Global efforts to reforest areas are making a significant impact.

Sodium-ion batteries might start replacing lithium-ion batteries soon which would be much better for the environment and generally cheaper or more convenient

Researchers have successfully cured HIV in several non-human primates. We’re closer to a real cure!

Locally, certainly in the east midlands, UK, there has been a lot of opportunities take to rewild huge areas of land again. Golf courses, with rolling hills and ponds/ streams are having meadows returned and more trees planted. Farmland that's been mismanaged or untenable and literally being a waste of space is having forest's replanted. I took my 2 year old son to plant some Birch, oak and chestnut trees near to Sherwood forest, along with several thousand others, all done by willing and happy volunteers!

It may not seem much but its becoming much more popular! In the short term we should see Wildflower meadows, birds, bees and woodland animals returning..in the long term, many years after our lifetime there should be huge swathes of cities/ countryside with accessible and diverse woodland and green spaces!

There are about 10 to 12,000,000 people in the United States Who Quilt . Most of them belong to Quilt guilds that donate to homeless shelters veteran shelters other types of places where people need blankets. My Quilt Guild donated over 800 this year and we only have 80 people in our guild.
