Action campaign underway in Grimsås!

Now we're kicking Neova out

For three weeks we will be at Grimsås bog. So far, over 90 ordinary people from Sweden and Scandinavia have planned to travel here to disrupt Neova's destruction of the bog and the Finnish state's climate-damaging peat mining here in Västra Götaland.

The verdict on the Grimsås 2024 actions is in
Pontus gave a fiery speech in the nature reserve at Grimsås bog after the judgement was handed down. "Then we did what we urge everyone to do: We went out on the bog and kept digging!

Are you keen to join us?

Our fundraising achieves its second goal!

90 000 reached!

A huge thank you to all of you who donated to our fundraiser! You are absolutely incredible! In just two days, the impossible was done: the fundraising reached the first goal of 60.000kr. And two weeks before the end of the fundraiser, we surpassed 90.000kr!

Your support and generosity means everything! As a movement, we are completely dependent on donations and radical actions cost money after all. You have helped us become even stronger in the fight against peat mining.

Many thanks and all the love to you!

The collection will remain open until 10 August!

For three weeks from: 18/7 - 10/8.

Disrupting production is one step closer to kicking Finnish Neova out of Sweden.
Join us and dig the trenches again! It's creative, fun and radical!

Join us on the moss!

Why resistance?

It is about much more than just wetlands.

Science indicates that we are heading towards a global civilisational collapse and mass extinction, yet politicians are allowing continued destruction to take us to the brink.

Who are we?

We exist because our politicians have long since betrayed all of humanity. It is now up to the people to do what those in power refuse to do - protect life and each other.
We do this by acting peacefully and effectively.

About us

Our vision

We want the people to decide through citizens' councils how to make Sweden a great country that cares for its people.
Through an unprecedented transition, we will achieve a society free of greenhouse gas emissions and toxins, where the world's children can grow up safe and healthy.

Research about us

Research confirms that our disruptive actions have had an impact

Cover page of the report on Restoring Wetlands produced by Social Change Lab

The UK-based Social Change Lab has published a research report on the Restore Wetlands campaign.
The analysis, which spans from the movement's inception in 2022 until the movement declared victory for its wetland restoration demand in April 2024, provides strong support for Restore Wetlands' strategies and tactics and identifies a series of successes.

Supreme Court acquits protesters of sabotage

On 9 July, the Supreme Court delivered its judgment in the now famous sabotage case.
An almost three-year-long legal process has come to a conclusion. All members of Restore Wetlands are now acquitted for the demonstration they carried out in August 2022 on the E4 motorway in Stockholm.

We have a choice:
collective action or collective suicide.
It is in our hands.

About the latest wave of action

During Easter we were at airports all over the country!

On 26 April, we took the final action of a series of actions at various airports in April. We have sounded the alarm because the climate is failing.

Our goal is a total ban on peat mining.

It is one of the simplest, cheapest and most effective things we can do to reduce carbon emissions.
Peat mining emits many times more than domestic aviation.
What are we waiting for?

Take the chance and support Sweden's most radical climate movement.
We have a plan on how to stop emissions and reach our vision.

For this we need enough money.

Where do we stand?

You are in a revolutionary time

The elite and those in power have forced you into a revolutionary situation. Because if our societies collapse, this century is the last chapter of humanity.

Humanity has reached a tipping point: the odds are against us and we need to do the impossible to save our civilisation and life on Earth from unimaginable suffering and global collapse.

But an act of love is performed no matter what the odds. Because without love, we can neither live nor survive.

Humans have defied the odds before with their will and co-operation - we can do it again. History has shown this, time and time again.

Which side of history do you want to be on?
