Humpback whale population recovering
The number of humpback whales in the southwest Atlantic has risen back up to 25,000, around 90% of its total original level before commercial whale hunting and fishing began; in the 1920s, the number of whales was so low that hunters went after different species and humpback whales were given protected status
Summer temperature records broken
During the summer of 2019, almost 400 temperature records were broken in the northern hemisphere; most of the record highs were in Germany, France and the Netherlands, and many scientists believe that this is trend that is set to continue
