An activist from a ZAD (Zone to Defend) is standing on a cut tree in the Crem'Arbre woods in Saix, Tarn, France, on March 24, 2024. After 37 days in the trees, the last three 'Ecureuils' (squirrels), who had been living in the trees of the Crem'Arbre ZAD to prevent them from being cut down, descended as the French Justice ruled that the Crem'Arbre must be protected and the trees cannot be cut until September 1st. Supporters, members of LVEL, gathered to welcome the 'Ecureuils' back to the ground. Riot police were present to prevent public disorder. The 'Ecureuils' and their trees had been surrounded by police for over a month. Opponents of the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres have set up the Crem'Arbre ZAD and have been living in the trees to block the cutting.

Not all expropriations for farmers have been resolved. Opponents argue that upgrading
