Giant Puppet Animals Complete 20,000km Climate Journey to Arctic Circle | Africanews Aug 8, 2025
A remarkable climate change awareness journey has come to an end as The Herds — a group of life-sized puppet animals — reached the Arctic Circle this week, marking the end of a 20,000-kilometre trek from Kinshasa in the Congo rainforest.
Organized by The Walk, the team behind the renowned Little Amal project, The Herds used art to spotlight the urgency of climate action, uniting communities across Africa and Europe in a creative call for environmental justice.

"The plume of ash from the mega-fire at #Ribaute in the #Aude region has been clearly visible in satellite imagery since dawn.
An area of high cloud is moving in from the north-west. The Tramontane will weaken and a sea breeze regime will set in.
#Smoke from the Canadian fires is affecting more of western Europe." (source: Keraunos.org 06/08 13:52)
A good example that #wildfires influence more than one country or regional weather only.
