1. Amazon Rainforest Fires Dropped by 65 Percent
âThanks to a âmore intense and sustained rainy seasonâ and more careful action by local communities and farmers, [âŠ] Brazil has seen a 65 per cent drop in Amazon rainforest fires compared to 2024 - the lowest level recorded since satellite monitoring began. [âŠ] Additionally, itâs not just the Amazon thatâs doing better as fire-affected areas across all of Brazil have dropped by 54 per cent.â
2. An incredible comeback: Chicago River fish populations show signs of recovery as 24 species spawn
ââOur previous studies showed that improvements to water quality in the river increased biodiversity, and now we have more positive news as populations are proliferating locally within the river." [âŠ] Overall, the study offers hope for other heavily modified urban waterways and might offer insights on how to best support fish communities to spawn. Further, it demonstrates how restoration can work to bring wildlife back to local waters.â
3. Australia approves world-first vaccine to save koalas from deadly chlamydia
âThe newly developed, single-dose vaccine [âŠ] reduces the risk of symptoms â and death â caused by chlamydia in wild koalas by at least 65 per cent[âŠ.] The vaccine, which has been in development for more than ten years, has been trialled successfully on over 500 wild and captive koalas across multiple generations. [âŠ] The next goal is to vaccinate 1,000 koalas in 2026.â
4. New conservation area protects 53% of carbon in northern Peruvian Amazon
âThe new regional conservation area will be part of a larger biological corridor called the Putumayo Amazon Indigenous Landscape[, which also includes âŠ] the Pupuña Indigenous Reserve, an area dedicated to protecting Indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation and initial contact[âŠ. âT]he goal is to ensure ecological connectivity and to avoid leaving state-owned lands freely available, as these are more vulnerable to land traffickers[.âŠ]ââ
5. Landmark high seas treaty crosses finish line
âIt will enable the creation of marine protected areas in waters beyond national jurisdictions, guarantee environmental impact assessments of activities like fishing and deep sea mining and ensure scientific discoveries from the high seas are equitably shared among countries. [⊠One priority area for protection is] a key migration corridor for sharks, whales and turtles, and home to reef-building corals, which support thriving underwater gardens.â

Chlamydia in koalas can cause blindness, infertility and even death.
A vaccine has been approved to help protect koalas against chlamydia, a measure researchers are hailing as a world-first in fighting the disease that is a leading cause of death for the beloved marsupials. Researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) in Australia said Wednesday it took more than 10 years to develop a single-dose vaccine that does not require a booster that it hopes will aid in "reducing the rapid, devastating spread of this disease."

The bacterium chlamydia trachomatis is a major cause of sexually transmitted diseases. Bacteria have lots of tricks up their sleeve that help them survive inside cells. One strategy that chlamydia uses is to form protective "bubbles," called inclusions, which fuse their membranes together to create large pockets of bacteria inside cells. Now, a new study by researchers at Thomas Jefferson University, published in Nature Communications, has shed light on the mechanisms behind this process. Membrane fusion is important during infection because when some people are infected with non-fusing chlamydia, they tend to have much milder cases.

Edit for all the people telling me âuhhh tuberculosis still existsâ: I know! :) In fact, all of these sicknesses still exist. In the modern world we live in, however, most of these are only prevalent in developing countries, and certainly not to the extent they once were.
