Of course, the $125m donated isn't even a drop in the bucket for full funding of all foreign aid programs, but at least everything hasn't evaporated overnight.

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

Today's #goodnews has people stepping up to take care of our national parks and its staff during the shutdown.

From picking up trash in the Rocky Mountains to expanding food banks in the Grand Canyon area to help feed those in need, people are making a difference. That's what we like to see. 😊
