The march proceeded from the main library to Keskustor. After the march, those who wanted to could go to the Old Church to listen to a lecture by environmental organisations on the parliamentary elections.
Hundreds of people gathered in Hämeenpuisto in Tampere to march for nature. The march started at the main library and continued to Keskustor.
– Biodiversity loss is a huge problem that threatens the future of us all,” says Tikkanen.
– I think that if we don’t have nature and climate, then other issues don’t matter,” says Salmijärvi.
Even the drizzle did not affect the mood of the marchers.
– However, it is such an important issue that I would march here even in the pouring rain, Taika Tikkanen laughs.
