2016

some of the great things that happened

Bengal Tigers are making a comeback

A man woke up from a coma after ultrasound waves

 were beamed into his brain.

 Researchers “excited” his brain tissue with the pulses,

 and after three days he regained complete consciousness

 and language comprehension. 

This could lead to new treatment for patients in comas

The Ice Bucket Challenge from last summer actually

 helped fund a breakthrough for ALS in 2016.

 The money that came from the campaign that was dubbed “slacktivism”

 helped fund a study that found a newly-identified gene, NEK1

. It’s now among the most common genes that contribute

 to the disease, and it gives scientists a potential target to create therapies.

A Colombian professor named Luis Soriano

 has been delivering books to children in need with the help of his donkey

 he named “Biblioburro.”

 He said that in Colombia children have to travel over 40 minutes

 to get to a library, so he makes it easier for them

Indian officials reported that volunteer planted almost 50 million trees in July.

 Clearly this is a new world record,

 completely demolishing Pakistan’s previous record of 1 million from 2013

. 800,000 people worked for 24 hours to get the job done 

as part of the deal India made at the Paris Climate Conference last year.

A solar-powered plane completed a round-the-world flight 

for the first time in Abu Dhabi.

 Solar Impulse 2 flew over 26,000 miles around the globe 

to prove that clean technologies could be used in flight.

Giant pandas are no longer endangered.

 There are now 2,060 of them in the wild,

 changing their status from “endangered” to “vulnerable.” 

This happened because of an increase of giant pandas being born in China.
