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.

Malgré la présence policière, les blocus sont restés pacifiques, ancrés dans une volonté de protection du territoire et de la forêt boréale.

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.

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 noreferrer" 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 noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeHeatwaves</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Koalas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Koalas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bellingen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/StopLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopLogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NativeForests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NativeForests</span></a></p>
