In the grip of earthโ€™s sixth mass extinction animals and insects are dying out at rates up to 1000 times the natural average. The destruction of a hundred species a year is driven by humans.

Carte Blanche journeys to the nuclear exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine โ€“ the heart of what has been considered the most radioactive and chemically toxic hotspot in the world, where wildlife was all but wiped out 30 years ago.
