Qumarleb County is located in the source region of the Yellow River, with an average altitude of over 4,500 meters. Children here lead a nomadic life with their families on expansive grasslands far from county seats and towns. Through years of efforts by local government, free preschool education has been extended to pasturing areas. Just around their home, children have chance to be taught by kindergarten teachers from town seats. Since 2022, 15 kindergartens with heating and illumination equipment powered by photovoltaic systems have been built in Qumarleb County by CHN Energy. Up to now, more than 700 children in distant pasturing areas have been recruited to these kindergartens near their living places. (Xinhua/Zhang Hongxiang)

Protest Against Gravel Pits And In Support On The 9 People On Hunger Strike Against The A69 Highway

People pose in front of the Justice court of Toulouse while holding the protraits of the 9 people on hunger strike against the decried A69 highway. People, activists from XR, soulevements de la terre, Eau secours 31 amid other collectives organized a march in Toulouse to denounce the public works industries as they operate gravel quarries in the phreatic tables of the Ariege and Garonne rivers. They also marched in support of the 9 hunger strikers against the building of the highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres. They stopped in front of the Conseil Regional Occitanie and in front of the Prefecture of Occitanie. After extracting sand and gravel, public works industries put public works waste in the quarries thus polluting the ground water with aluminium, polystyrene, concrete, etc. These phreatic tables are already running low due to the persistent drought in France and they are used for drinking water of Toulouse amid other towns along the Ariege and Garonne river. This water is also used for irrigation.

They also marched in support of the 9 hunger strikers against the building of the highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres. They stopped in front of the Conseil Regional Occitanie and in front of the Prefecture of Occitanie. After extracting sand and gravel, public works industries put public works waste in the quarries thus polluting the ground water with aluminium, polystyrene, concrete, etc. These phreatic tables are already running low due to the persistent drought in France and they are used for drinking water of Toulouse amid other towns along the Ariege and Garonne river. This water is also used for irrigation.
