These grasstrees in the Ironbark Basin on Victoria's Surfcoast are hundreds of years old but they are under threat from an invasive species, cinnamon fungus.

According to a UN Report released this month, 1 million species are threatened with extinction caused by land clearing, pollution, global warming, pesticides and invasive species. We are in the beginning of the sixth mass extinction. What can we do to turn this impending catastrophe around?
