FRANCE-NDDL-ZAD-EVICTION-ENVIRONMENT-AIRPORT

Protesters walk among teargas clouds released by riot forces as clashes erupt during a police operation to raze the decade-old camp known as ZAD (Zone a Defendre - Zone to defend) at Notre-Dame-des-Landes, near the western city of Nantes on April 10, 2018, and evict the last of the protesters who had refused to leave despite the government agreeing to ditch a proposed airport. French police battled to evict anti-airport protesters and the creators of an alternative anti-capitalist settlement in western France during a second day of clashes. Some 2,500 officers raided the decade-old camp at Notre-Dame-des-Landes on April 9, destroying makeshift buildings topped with corrugated iron, a giant tent, a watchtower, and a sheep shed and cheese-making area. / AFP PHOTO / LOIC VENANCE (Photo credit should read LOIC VENANCE/AFP via Getty Images)
