It is well known that the media never talk about trains arriving on time. So much so that following the news can be totally depressing. Without denying the major threats and difficulties that our times are going through, there is also very good news that sometimes reaches us and is not relayed enough. To ignore them is to condemn oneself to despair. Here are three recent pieces of information that will make us smile again.

This vulnerable species is doing better

The number of eggs of the olive ridley turtles, an endangered species, has seen a particular increase this year thanks to Bangladesh, thanks to the significant efforts made in this state. This was made possible in particular by a major awareness-raising effort carried out among the local population.

In detail, the number of eggs increased by 53% compared to last year, from 8,096 to 12,425. And it’s even better if we compare this figure to that observed in 2020-2021: 4,713 eggs.

Climate: this Canadian province sets an example

The last coal-fired power plant in Alberta, Canada, recently closed its doors. Capital Power has confirmed that its project to convert the facility from coal to natural gas is now complete.

In 2001, coal accounted for up to 80% of the province's electricity grid, our colleagues at CBC recall. A success that was possible thanks to the voluntarism of the local government which announced its intention to eliminate coal energy by 2030.

This AI is a blessing for animals and road safety

Four students from the STEM School Highlands Ranch in Colorado have developed a technology that has the potential to save human and animal lives. It is a small detector capable of detecting deer passing on the road. An audible warning warns the driver who will avoid the animal.

Where this device is truly innovative is that it relies on an infrared camera that images the environment coupled with an artificial intelligence model that models visuals of deer to spot them in real time and warn the motorist before it is too late. More information in our previous article here.
