Activists from LVEL (La Voie Est Libre, meaning 'The Way Is Free') and other associations are currently trying to pass through the riot police to resupply the 'Ecureuils' (meaning 'Squirrels') who are living in the trees of the 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD (Zone To Defend) in Saix, Tarn, France, on March 1, 2024. Despite the demands of Michel Forst, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, for the resupply of the 'Ecureuils,' the riot police are blocking the efforts, including those of MP Karen Erodial, who also tried unsuccessfully. The 'Ecureuils' are occupying the trees to prevent them from being cut down for the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres. The Gendarmes Mobiles (riot police) have intervened to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees to prevent the supply of food and water by sympathizers. After two days of police efforts, only one 'Ecureuil' has been dislodged, but new trees are being occupied by 'Ecureuils' in a new area called 'Cal'Arbre.' The collective 'La Voie est Libre' is demanding that the highway project be halted until all judicial decisions are made. The opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the planned 6,000 vehicles per day and would cost significantly less than the A69 highway, which is estimated to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers. They also highlight that the project would destroy over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.

Gendarmes Mobiles are standing guard near a Centaure, an armored vehicle, while a police helicopter is flying nearby at the 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD in the woods in Saix, Tarn, France, on February 21, 2024. Opponents of the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres have established a ZAD, or Zone To Defend, named 'Crem'Arbre', and individuals known as 'Ecureuils' ('Squirrels') are living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. The Gendarmes Mobiles have intervened to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees occupied by the 'Ecureuils' to block the supply of food and water by sympathizers. They have cleared the nearby area of all opponents, and a special unit of policemen, CNAMO, has intervened to dislodge the 'Ecureuils' from their trees. After two days of police efforts, they have dislodged only one 'Ecureuil'. The LDH (Human Rights League) has come to give medical supplies to the 'Ecureuils'. Meanwhile, new trees are being occupied by 'Ecureuils' at a new location called 'Cal'Arbre'. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' ('The Way is Free') wants the construction of the highway to be halted until all judicial decisions on the matter are made. The expropriations for farmers have not been resolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles expected per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, excluding inflation) for 54 kilometers, and its construction would destroy over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields.

A sympathizer is showing the new armored vehicle, a Centaure, used by the Gendarmerie Mobile (riot police). In the woods in Saix, Tarn Departement, on the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres, opponents have installed a ZAD dubbed 'Crem'Arbre' and 'Ecureuils' (meaning 'squirrels') are living in the trees to block their cutting. The Gendarmes Mobiles are intervening to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees occupied by 'Ecureuils' to block the supply of food and water by sympathizers. The Gendarmes Mobiles have cleared the nearby area of all opponents as a special unit of policemen, CNAMO, is intervening to dislodge the 'Ecureuils' from their trees. After two days of the police's efforts, they have dislodged only one 'Ecureuil'. The LDH (Human Rights League) is coming to give medical supplies to the 'Ecureuils'. However, new trees are being occupied by 'Ecureuils' in a new place called 'Cal'Arbre'. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' (meaning 'The Way is Free') wants the construction of the highway to be stopped until all the judicial decisions on the matter are given. All expropriations for farmers have not been cleared. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 would be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields are at risk of being destroyed. This is happening in Saix, Tarn, France, on February 21, 2024.
