As Earth faces its sixth mass extinction, with a million plant and animal species at risk, Australian environmentalist & climate expert Natalie Kyriacou OAM explains how, for the first time in history, it’s being driven by human activity.

Her new book, Nature's Last Dance, is a razor-sharp, honest, witty and deeply moving look into the heart of our extinction crisis.

Natalie shares unusual tales of hope, joy, absurdity and scientific marvel to inspire us to confront and ultimately reverse what’s happening to our natural world.
