France's Minister for Interior and Overseas Gerald Darmanin attends a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, New Caledonia's elected officials and local representatives at the French High Commissioner Louis Le Franc's residence in Noumea, France's Pacific territory of New Caledonia on May 23, 2024. Macron flew to France's Pacific territory of New Caledonia on a politically risky visit aiming to defuse a crisis after nine days of riots that have killed six people and injured hundreds. Macron's sudden decision to fly to the southwest Pacific archipelago, some 17,000 kilometres (10,500 miles) from mainland France, is a sign of the gravity with which the government views the pro-separatist violence.

Botanist Florencia Peredo cares for Tiehm’s buckwheat at Ioneer’s Tiehm’s buckwheat conservation greenhouse on May 8, 2024 in Gardnerville, Nevada. Tiehm’s buckwheat, a rare and endangered wildflower endemic to the Silver Peak Range in Esmeralda County, Nevada grows beside Rhyolite Ridge, the site of a proposed lithium mine. Ioneer, the mining company that hopes to exploit the lithium and boron deposits at Rhyolite Ridge, has invested two years in studying and propagating Tiehm’s buckwheat in the controlled greenhouse setting to contribute to the protection of the plant, whose existence is threatened by the lithium mining project. In 20022 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed Tiehm’s buckwheat as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. (Photo by Robyn Beck / AFP)

A piece of searlesite, a rock that contains both lithium and boron, is displayed during a visit to the Rhyolite Ridge Project Lithium-Boron mining project site in Rhyolite Ridge, Nevada on May 7, 2024. After years of studies, planning and financing, Ioneer’s proposed mine is on the verge of being a reality, with only Tiehm’s Buckwheat, a rare wildflower endemic to the region and recently added to the Endangered Species Act list of protected species, standing in the way of the project. If approved, Ioneer says lithium mined at Rhyolite Ridge will help power upward of 50 million electric vehicles over the mine's 26-year lifetime. (Photo by Robyn Beck / AFP)
A Tiehm’s buckwheat plant starts to bud in its native habitat among searlesite and other mineral rocks on public land in the Silver Peak Range in Esmeralda County, Nevada beside Rhyolite Ridge, the site of a proposed lithium mine, on May 7, 2024. Australian mining company Ioneer is in the final phase of securing approval to break ground on a lithium mine at Rhyolite Ridge – if the requirements to safeguard the rare and endemic wildflower, which is protected by the US Endangered Species Act, doesn’t squelch the project. Rhyolite Ridge has North America’s largest known deposit of searlesite, from which lithium and boron is extracted, and could help secure America’s lithium independence. (Photo by Robyn Beck / AFP)

Cultivated Tiehm’s buckwheat is seen at Ioneer’s Tiehm’s buckwheat conservation greenhouse on May 8, 2024 in Gardnerville, Nevada. Tiehm’s buckwheat, a rare and endangered wildflower endemic to the Silver Peak Range in Esmeralda County, Nevada grows beside Rhyolite Ridge, the site of a proposed lithium mine. Ioneer, the mining company that hopes to exploit the lithium and boron deposits at Rhyolite Ridge, has invested two years in studying and propagating Tiehm’s buckwheat in the controlled greenhouse setting to contribute to the protection of the plant, whose existence is threatened by the lithium mining project. In 20022 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed Tiehm’s buckwheat as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. (Photo by Robyn Beck / AFP)

French President Emmanuel Macron speaks during a meeting with New Caledonia's elected officials and local representatives at the French High Commissioner Louis Le Franc's residence in Noumea, France's Pacific territory of New Caledonia on May 23, 2024. Macron flew to France's Pacific territory of New Caledonia on a politically risky visit aiming to defuse a crisis after nine days of riots that have killed six people and injured hundreds. Macron's sudden decision to fly to the southwest Pacific archipelago, some 17,000 kilometres (10,500 miles) from mainland France, is a sign of the gravity with which the government views the pro-separatist violence.
