	Description:		Apparently, we're already in the earth's sixth mass extinction wave. A new UN report released last night, the most comprehensive to date, provides a lot of support for that case. It says we're on track to lose a million species of plants and animals, many within a matter of decades. That's about an eighth of all the species currently living on earth. The last five extinction waves have been triggered by natural causes, but scientists say there's no doubt this one is man-made. So does the extinction wave include humans? And is there anything we can do to stop it, if it's already underway? Featured: Professor Corey Bradshaw, Matthew Flinders Fellow in Global Ecology, Flinders University
