50,000 participants demonstrate at the Hambacher Wald near Koeln-Buir for a quick coal phase-out and for the rescue of the Hambacher Forest. The demonstration "Save forests-stop coal" near the forest is the largest of its kind so far, the banner reads: "We will end coal! #hambibleibt". The initiative Buirer for Buir, the German Federal Association for the Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND), Campact, Greenpeace and the nature friends of Germany are calling for climate protection and a fast coal phase-out. They demand energy group RWE to definitively stop logging in the Hambach Forest.
