After leaving his native land of Sweden, for the past 10 years, Jesper has carried the responsibility for multiple antispeciesist projects in Strasbourg with 269Life France. With his local team, spectacular and shocking street actions have been carried out to highlight in media the political and cultural power structures of speciecism.

In parallel to his actions in France, he's been highly active in the Restore Wetlands ('Återställ Våtmarker') anti peat mining campaign in Sweden, a civil disobedience climate group part of the international A22 Network (Letzte Generation, Just Stop Oil, etc.) often considered to be the most influential in the country.

Combined, these binational experiences of on-the-ground activism have led to his critical and nuanced view on strategy.
