We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction or the Anthropocene extinction as a result of human activity. What does this actually mean for the world's most well-known animals, and which organisms are most under threat? 

The final Reduce the Juice: Connect webinar will investigate the catastrophic effect of biodiversity loss. It will look at the hard evidence that this mass extinction event is the result of human activity, and will investigate the biodiversity loss in some less expected places such as soil, including the effect of this biodiversity loss for humanity.

Join the conversation about how we can incorporate sustainability and climate action into our daily lives, and find out how you can receive the University of London’s Sustainability Advocate Award by taking part in their monthly challenges.
