This marks an increase of 1.1 years compared to the numbers from 2021. After two years of decline, it's a relief to see life expectancy on the rise again. However, it's important to note that this increase only accounts for less than 50 percent of the loss experienced between 2019 and 2021.

During that time, the average life expectancy dropped by 2.4 years. The current level of 77.5 years is on par with what it was in 2003. The majority of the gains seen in 2022 are attributed to fewer COVID-related deaths. We can celebrate this positive trend while also recognizing the challenges we still face in improving overall longevity.In South Africa, researchers have made an incredible discovery.

The DeWinton Golden Mole is a small blind burrower with super hearing powers and a diet of insects. Thanks to the efforts of a team, including Esther, a senior field officer with the Endangered Wildlife Trust, DNA samples were collected and two DeWinton Golden Moles have been confirmed and photographed. This exciting project is part of a broader initiative to rediscover lost species, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts and the wonders that can be found when we delve into the natural world.And now for a quirky story that proves that surprises can happen anywhere.
