A general view of the ZAD against the LGV project on the Canal du Midi banks near Toulouse. Zadists (development protesters) begin to install a ZAD (Zone to Defend, a militant occupation intended to physically blockade a development project) along the Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They intend to block the construction of a new high-speed train line between Toulouse and Bordeaux. 'Ecureuils' (people living in trees, nicknamed 'squirrels') already live in some trees near the Canal du Midi. However, there are already two train lines between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The projected cost of the project is EUR14 billion. The works and the line will use more than 6,300 hectares of good soils, including 3,000 hectares of forests and 370 hectares of wetlands. This takes place in Toulouse, France, on October 4, 2024.
