My latest guest on Awake At Night is a remarkable man. Nicholas Haysom was arrested, kept in solitary confinement in apartheid South Africa, but he went on to help write the South African Constitution and to work with Nelson Mandela.

Since then he has never stopped working for peace and human rights. These days, as the Head of the United Nations Peacekeeping mission in South Sudan he is supporting its recovery and resilience.

On Awake At Night, he reflects on helping the world’s youngest nation build a better future, on why thorny negotiations are always necessary to move on from any civil war, and on why lasting peace should never be taken for granted.

Elephants are vital to our ecosystem. Yet, their population is declining every year.

Tuesday's World Elephant Day is an opportunity to honor these iconic animals, spread awareness about the threats they face & support solutions to help ensure their survival.

Here are some actions you can take to help protect elephants:
🔹 Get information about the status of wildlife and wildlife products.
🔹 Don’t invest in ivory as a commodity.
🔹 Support companies that demonstrate sustainable supply chains and environmentally responsible policies.
🔹 Spread the word and encourage others to get better informed about the threats faced by elephants.
