Scientists find some of the 'very last wild and healthy ecosystems' in the world's oceans untouched by humans
Scientists have discovered two small Pacific Ocean atolls that remain largely untouched by human activity. These coral reefs are among the few "very last wild and healthy ecosystems" left on the planet, according to a new study. The atolls, Bikar and Bokak, are located in the Marshall Islands.
Why it's good news: It highlights the existence of remaining pristine ecosystems that can provide valuable insights into the health of our oceans.
Environment stories track ecosystems recovering, species rebounding, clean energy milestones, and conservation wins. Climate news is included when the story centers on measurable progress rather than projections of future damage. We believe tracking what is working is as important as tracking what is not.
