Extinction Rebellion: Why Do We Rebel? (3 min.)

One man connects with the mountain to support the Extinction Rebellion movement.

In the Spring of 2020, Pavel Borecky runs up the so-called “Swiss Pyramid”, Niesen mountain (693m-2362m), in 200 minutes. 

The pain connects with those living beings who suffer from the “Anthropocene extinction”, the most significant extinction event in the history of the Earth.

It is happening now. You and I are part of it.
