It looks like the last article got cut off mid-quote. Here’s a summary of the three good news stories you shared:
1. **A gorilla made history in the DRC**
– Lulingu, one of the first eastern lowland gorillas rehabilitated and returned to the wild in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), has given birth in Virunga National Park.
– She was rescued from the illegal wildlife trade at 18 months old, raised in a sanctuary, and reintroduced in 2024 along with three others.
– This birth is a milestone, reinforcing the small critically endangered population (which fell from ~16,900 to 3,800 between 1994 and 2015 due to habitat loss and conflict).
2. **Renewables insulated nations from Hormuz crisis**
– The UK avoided £5.9bn in gas imports since the start of the Hormuz crisis due to record electricity generation from wind and solar power.
– Wind and solar power provided a record 41% of the UK’s electricity in 2026, compared to 25% from gas. Gas-fired electricity generation fell nearly 10% year-on-year.
– In Europe, heat pump sales increased by 11% as the EU moves away from reliance on gas imports.
3. **Electric cars ‘more reliable’ than petrol ones**
– A study reviewing 47.4 million UK MOT test results over 12 months found that electric vehicles (EVs) are more reliable than petrol cars at high mileage.
– Failure rates were similar up to 60,000 miles, but between 90,000-120,000 miles, EVs were 25% less likely to fail than petrol vehicles.
– This challenges the belief that high-mileage EVs are less durable and supports growing EV adoption.
