Jurassic Park actor James Cromwell stages dinosaur protest at Cop15

US star, who was also in Succession, urged leaders at biodiversity conference to take more forceful action to end nature crisis

The US actor James Cromwell revisited his old role in Jurassic Park with a modern twist in a protest against inaction on the nature crisis. He urged leaders at Cop15 to Stop the Human Asteroid" as he stood in front of a model dinosaur surrounded by pictures of world leaders' heads as bits of rock flying into Earth.

The 82-year-old actor - known for his roles as Ewan Logan in Succession and the farmer in Babe - staged the protest near the Cop15 convention centre in Montreal, where more than 10,000 people have gathered to create the next decade of targets to bend the curve on biodiversity loss. He told the Guardian: With all the history of the Cops, we have achieved nothing, absolutely nothing, and they know that. I don't know how they look at themselves in the mirror in the morning."
