Good-news gorillas
Rarely is there good news on the endangered-species front. It's all gloom and doom all the time, just like climate-change news: The critters are always dying off faster than we thought. The icebergs are always melting at double the previous rate.
Until today. It's probably all over the place, but I heard the report on NPR while I was getting dressed for work: There are 125,000 lowland gorillas cavorting about that humans had no idea were there. They live in a swampy place that is hard to pitch a tent in and no one has ever bothered looking for them there. Here's a link to a short video that shows how glorious is the life of an extant gorilla.
Of course, now that we know they're there, they're in real trouble. Unless we decide to do something to protect the happy swamp forever.
