The air-raid alarm starts blaring and people collectively fall to the ground<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s October 4th<\/sup>, better known as World Animal Day. It\u2019s also the first Monday of the month, which means that at 12 o\u2019clock all the air-raid alarms in the Netherlands collectively go off as a test run. Throughout the country Extinction Rebellion takes this moment as a cry for attention for the environment: \u201cRight in front of a shopping centre we catch people off guard with our action. Once you can hear the air-raid alarm we pretend to be dead. Even if it just makes one person more conscious of what\u2019s going on in the world, we\u2019re satisfied.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2021\/10\/Knipsel-1.png” panorama=”off” align=”right” lightbox=”on” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

\u201cI\u2019m really happy to have found an entrance into Extinction Rebellion and trying to get attention for our climate\u201d, 19 year old Ida \u01b5wets tells, who\u2019s here to protest for the first time. \u201cDo you want a flag too?\u201d one of the older so called \u2018rebels\u2019 asks Ida, who takes the flag and thanks him. \u201cI\u2019m so happy to see such a diverse group of people here\u201d, she smiles, \u201cI expected to only run into the younger generation, but that’s not the case at all. It really shows that at any age people can care about our future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The air-raid alarm starts blaring and all the rebels fall to the ground. Some hold up flags, others have cut-out tombstones made out of cardboard in front of them. Some bystanders stop whatever they\u2019re doing to take pictures of them, others give them a confused look and pick up their pace. After a while one of the rebels, Eva van der Helm, starts talking through a megaphone: \u201cWorld Animal Day. A day to treat your beloved pets extra nice. But do you ever think of the animals that are a little further away from your own home? They are not<\/em> doing well..\u201d<\/p>\n

In her speech Eva refers to different species of animals going extinct. According to the Red List of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources) 9097 animal species are either endangered, or critically endangered. In these numbers another 14.012 species are data deficient, so this number of 9097 might be higher.<\/p>\n

After Eva\u2019s speech in which she asked people to please join their fight for a better environment, she shouts \u201cExtinction\u201d, to which all the rebels reply \u201cRebellion\u201d. After this some rebels go their own ways, others hand out leaflets to people that stopped to listen. Eva, who is also one of the organizers of this protest in Utrecht is satisfied with today: \u201cEven if we were able to just get \u00f3ne person thinking, I\u2019m more than happy. You never know what kind of positive chain reaction that could cause.\u201d<\/p>\n[aesop_gallery id=”2996″ revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
