Angus Hervey: Is this the time of monsters — or miracles?

Is this the time of monsters — or miracles?

Headlines warn of a world in collapse, but solutions journalist Angus Hervey finds the overlooked triumphs that never make the news — from the rollout of malaria vaccines to the recovery of sea turtles. With hard data and stories from the frontlines, he reveals the hidden progress that perseveres even as it feels like the world is falling apart, and challenges us to decide which future we'll help write.

While stories of chaos and collapse fill the news, profound human progress continues unnoticed. Over five million children in 17 countries have received the first malaria vaccine, saving countless lives. Across the world, child marriage is being banned, deforestation rates are dropping, and more people are gaining access to education and clean water. Even when setbacks seem overwhelming, everyday people shape a future where hope and hard-won victories coexist with crisis.
