FRANCE-ENVIRONMENT-DAM
Local representatives, members of the Coordination rurale (rural joint commitee) and farmers from the local farmers union FDSEA demonstrate in the streets of Albi, southern France, on November 15, 2014 to support the construction of the Sivens dam. Although the construction of the dam would help supply water to nearby farms, it would remove a 13 hectares long reservoir of biodiversity. Proponents of the dam - including the FDSEA (Departemental Federation of syndicated farmers) - deemed necessary to secure water supplies for farmers. Opponents - backed by French Europe Ecologie Les Verts (EELV) green party member of the European Parliament - are moved by the disappearance of a wetland sheltering 94 protected species and therefore denounce the projected irrigated agricultural model.
