text: A barricade reading "No to the dam" stands near the "zone to defend" (ZAD) area occupied by environmental activists protesting a dam project in the Sivens forest on March 5, 2015. Anti-dam activists say the project poses a huge environmental threat to the Sivens wetland while pro-dam farmers, who are blocking roads leading to the ZAD area, argue that the dam will provide much-needed irrigation for their fields. The Tarn department council is due to meet on March 6 to discuss alternatives to the original dam project. AFP PHOTO / REMY GABALDA
