Franklin López<p>12 days, thousands of kilometers dodging potholes and cynical corporate PR—from Nehirowisiw Territory to Kanehsatake, swing through Wemotaci, then Mashteuiatsh—just to film land defenders giving CN and the clear-cutting psychopaths the one-finger salute. This clip, They Stopped the Train to Defend the Forest, is a taste of our full doc Defenders of the Forest, dropping soon and free for your solidarity screenings.

Franklin López<p>Bon, 12 jours à parcourir le soi-disant Québec dans tous les sens – Camp Souveraineté, Kanesatake, Wemotaci, retour à Camp Souveraineté, puis hop, Terre Inu, et enfin Mashteuiatsh – juste pour voir des actes de résistance autochtone badass contre l’avidité forestière. Premier épisode de notre série vidéo, et je vous préviens : ça va dépoter. Montage complet en docu bientôt.</p><p>Ne vous inquiétez pas, demain la version anglaise débarque. Et évidemment tout est en français… sauf la partie qui sera en anglais demain, parce que oui, je suis un génie de la logique linguistique. 😉</p><p>En juillet 2025, des défenseur·e·s de la terre innu·e·s et nehirowisiw·e·s, membres de l’Alliance MAMO, ont bloqué les voies ferrées du Canadien National entre la Mauricie et l’Abitibi pour stopper l’extraction massive de bois sur leurs territoires non cédés. Malgré la présence policière, les blocus sont restés pacifiques, ancrés dans une volonté de protection du territoire et de la forêt boréale. Amplifier Films était sur place, à Wemotaci et Mashteuiatsh, pour documenter cette action de souveraineté autochtone.</p><p>🎬 Restez à l’écoute pour notre documentaire à venir : Les défenseur·e·s de la forêt<br>👉 <a href="https://amplifierfilms.ca/fr/foret" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">amplifierfilms.ca/fr/foret</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/R%C3%A9sistanceAutochtone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RésistanceAutochtone</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Souverainet%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Souveraineté</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StopLogging</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmplifierFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmplifierFilms</span></a></p>

Juliet and Indiana Jones<p>Yes, we are here supporting Australian wildlife at the Rally for Native Forests here in Naarm/ Melbourne. Honestly there has been a 73% decline in wildlife globally in the last 50 years. A Global assessment found 38% of tree species facing extinction. And our governments are continuing native forest logging, including in Victoria disguised as Forest Fire Management and planned burns but in reality commercial logging.<br>We want to see a Great Forest National Park.</p><p><a href="https://www.victorianforestalliance.org.au" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">victorianforestalliance.org.au</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/nativeforests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nativeforests</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Forests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Forests</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChihuahuasforClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChihuahuasforClimateAction</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/stoplogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stoplogging</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Melbourne</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DogsOfMastodon</span></a> <br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Chihuahuas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chihuahuas</span></a></p>

BellingenNSW<p>The impacts of extreme heat events on wildlife<br>How koalas are trying to cope</p><p>Temperatures are predicted to swelter above 40 degrees today in NSW. People are retreating into their coal-fired AC houses and AC combustion boxes. Dogs are offered drinking bowls at almost every door in Bellingen, but Australian animals are out there in a degraded landscape having to deal with the extreme heat we generate.</p><p>Koalas are "using a tree species they don't feed on ... [hugging] the main trunks of trees and lower to the ground. We came up with the idea they were losing heat to the tree trunks. I found a colleague with a fancy thermal camera and went out in hot weather and it's exactly what they were doing. By pressing their body into the coolest tree they could find, the koalas halved their need to drink water in heatwaves. Hugging trees may not be enough for koalas to maintain their already dwindling distribution with rising average temperatures."</p><p>Stop fossil fuels consumption<br>Put out fresh water for wildlife<br>>><br><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2023-12-09/australian-animals-summer-heat-kangaroos-emus-termites-echidna/103120678" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/science/2023-1</span><span class="invisible">2-09/australian-animals-summer-heat-kangaroos-emus-termites-echidna/103120678</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ExtremeHeatwaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeHeatwaves</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Koalas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Koalas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bellingen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/StopLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StopLogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativeForests</span></a></p>
