In case you missed it, last week was the #OurLandOurNature alternative congress, which finished on Friday with a #protest in Marseille, France, where we were joined by a number of other orgs including @xrFrance, @amisdelaterre & @yfcmarseille.

1/6

Despite the torrential rain ⛈️ the turn out was big, showing how strong the resistance is towards the false solutions to tackle #ClimateChange being proposed at the #IUCNcongress.

2/6

The plan to turn 30% of the world into Protected Areas by 2030 (30x30) is a distraction from the real causes of #environmental destruction - instead it puts a price on #nature & allows big business to profit.

3/6

It's no coincidence that conservation NGOs are in bed with the biggest polluters on the planet: @NutellaGlobal, @JCDecauxGlobal & @LOrealGroupe even sponsor the #IUCNcongress! 🧐

4/6

We can't trust those destroying nature to protect it... Along with other orgs, we're showing that different solutions exist & already work - ones that are anti-racist, anti-colonial & respect #diversity.

5/6

#Indigenous Peoples must be at the ♥️ of the #climate movement & we must center their voices in the fight against climate change & #biodiversity loss.
