This is the documentary from the BBC World Service.
Welcome to The Fifth Floor from the BBC World Service with me, Farinak Amidi.
The BBC World Service broadcasts in 45 languages around the world.
Our job here at The Fifth Floor is to bring you the best of those stories in English and to also get you closer to the extraordinary work our journalists do.
Coming up on the fifth floor, we hear about the Russian vigilante group who takes it upon themselves to uphold Putin's so-called traditional Russian values.
And we hear about the changing reputation of the last empress of Vietnam.
But first, when it comes to conservation, the cute, cuddly and beautiful all win the day.
We can all get behind a project to protect pangolins or pandas.
It's not so easy to get the public's attention when it comes to animals that are perceived as weird or creepy or downright unpleasant.
The vulture, traditionally associated with death and carrion, falls into this unlucky group, with roughly 70% of vultures globally under threat of extinction.
Nigeria's vultures are no exception.
BBC West Africa journalist Makuochi Okofor, based in Lagos, has been investigating this story and he's here to talk about his findings.
So when you were a child, Makuochi, how common was it to see vultures?
So how serious is the decline of population of vultures according to conservationists?
Why are they so important ecologically?
