Because of climate change the animals' homes are being destroyed. The banners are reading in German: "Klimawandel zerstört unsere Heimat!", "Strassenbau ist Klimawandel!" and "SVP: Verhelft uns zum Asyl!" or translated: "Climate change is destroying our homes!", "More streets means more climate change!" and "Please give us asylum!".In original language:Klima Protest gegen Avanti und Klima Wandel in ZurichHeute Morgen haben 20 vom Sturm vertriebene Tiere vor dem SVP-Sekretariat in Zürich demonstriert. Ihr Protest richtet sich gegen den Klimawandel, der ihre Heimat zerstört und gegen die SVP-Vorreiterrolle in der aktuellen Verkehrspolitik. Die Tiere forderten Klimaschutz statt Strassen. Andernfalls müsse die SVP ihre Auswanderung und Asylaufnahme in einem fremden Land organisieren. Als Vordenkerin der Avanti-Initiative und als Mitverantwortliche des Gegenvorschlags lässt die SVP den Schweizer Klimaschutz zur Makulatur verkommen. Bei der Abstimmung am 8. Februar handelt es sich um ein rechts-bürgerliches SVP-Asphaltbegehren in Reinkultur. Dieses würde die Schleusen für zusätzlichen Schweizer CO2-Ausstoss öffnen.Locations:Europe, East Europe, Alpine Countries-Switzerland-ZurichDate:13 Jan, 2004Credit:© Greenpeace / Ex-Press / David AdairMaximum size:2016px X 3024pxRestrictions:FOR NON-COMMERCIAL GREENPEACE PUBLISHED MATERIAL.

They demonstrate against the Avanti Initiave, a new road construction project which will lead to an increase in CO2 emissions, and against the SVP leadership in the current traffic politics. The project would counteract the targets for climate protection in Switzerland. The Avanti initiative and climate change will destroy many of the animals' homes. Therefore the "animals" are asking for climate change protection instead of streets. Otherwise the SVP should organize their emigration and asylum in a foreign host country. The SVP is playing an important role in the Avanti initiative and is therefore letting Swiss climate protection fall to pieces. The elections of February 8th are all about a right wing SVP asphalt desire. This would open the channels for additional Swiss CO2 emissions.
