On October 30, activists with the group Letzte Generation glued themselves to a 66-million-year-old dinosaur in Berlin’s Natural History Museum, in efforts to raise awareness about the climate crisis and protest the lack of government action. The protesters, both mothers, wanted to make the point that the climate crisis threatens everyone’s lives, with animals going extinct every day.

Caris Connell, one of the activists, said in a statement, ‘I am afraid of forest fires, water shortages, famine and war. The dinosaurs became extinct because they couldn't withstand the massive climate changes. The same threatens us: 150 species go extinct every day. And that is just the beginning.’
