Hidden in the scrapes, this little tern chick is camouflaged – and vulnerable – on a Norfolk beach. But it is surrounded by a record 700 other ground nests due to a project set up to protect the threatened species 40 years ago.

The real concern lies in the gradual decline of core values within our national consciousness. Achieving the lasting transformation Nigeria seeks cannot rely solely on policy reforms, activism, or legislation.
