High hopes: drones join fight to save New Zealand’s rarest dolphin

 

I recently read an article about the endangered dolphins in New Zealand, the author of the text is Eleanor de Jong. This species called maui is the rarest dolphin in the world. It is estimated that only 63 of them live today. Fortunately, the inhabitants ( 81% of them), but also the government, do everything to prevent these beautiful animals from becoming extinct. A non-profit organization is also working to better protect dolphins. They create a drone that will allow you to find and collect data about Maui dolphins at a much lower cost than traditional methods. The collected data is to be made available to the public and help fishing companies not to affect the areas of endangered dolphins.  The entire project will cost half a million dollars. In my opinion, such actions are very good, because animal species are disappearing mainly because of people, so we must do our best to prevent it.

Vaccine for everybody in UK

I have read an ariticle in "The Guardian" written by Peter Walker about vaccine for immigrants in UK. 
It is estimated that there are between 800 thousand and 1,2 million illegal immigrants in the UK. Each of them, however, has the right to sign up for a doctor, which they do reluctantly or not at all for fear of letting go. The government is urging them to sign up and take vaccines like any other citizen. They emphasize that vaccination will be given to everyone, regardless of nationality and immigration status. Everyone will be vaccinated in the same order. In my opinion this decission is very good because it is about the health of the British, but also of people around the world, and this is the most important thing.
