Speakers, musicians, activists, families and dogs gathered around Westminster for a 4-day event raising awareness about climate change and biodiversity loss. The event was organised by Extinction Rebellion, with over 200 organisations supporting and attending the movement. A contagious sea of laughter, smiles, music and colour spread across the city as people flocked to the capital to take part in the action. <br />Fri, 28 Apr 2023 12:00:00 +0000Christian Emmersonhttps://www.avonwildlifetrust.org.uk/blog/christian-emmerson/big-one<a hreflang="en" href="/blog/christian-emmerson/volunteer-forum-2023">
