Tonight, one bright thing — from Costa Rica. In the early 1980s, three-quarters of its forests were gone. Trees that had stood for centuries had fallen in a single human lifetime. Then, slowly, something almost no one believed could happen began to happen. The chainsaws stopped. The trees came back. The howler monkeys returned to the canopy. And one man, on seven hectares of bare cattle pasture in Sarapiquí, planted a forest from nothing and watched it rise around him.

A calm story for the end of the day, for anyone tired of the heavier news.
