This summer, Indigenous land defenders in “Quebec” made the logging lobby eat shit—blockades, pressure, the whole nine. But the state will try again. The Atikamekw are digging in for winter with a permanent camp to watch their forests and stop illegal cuts. Cold’s coming fast. Kick in so they’ve got what they need to hold the line.

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. Stay woke (LOL) and check 🔗 https://amplifierfilms.ca — this isn’t tourism, it’s frontline Indigenous resistance.

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.
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. 😉
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.

NSW Forestry Corp is under fire, with critics labelling it a "criminal organisation" for allegedly logging protected forests and destroying wildlife habitat. Conservation groups and community members are demanding urgent reform and accountability.

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.
We want to see a Great Forest National Park.

30 years of forest defence in East Gippsland, Australia.
This video remembers those forest defenders that have died. But an image of myself locked on to a log loader is at 11:11 min.
I was arrested that morning at Goolengook. I spent two weeks in the forest in the winter of 1997 trying to stop the destruction of the ancient trees.
In 2006 the State Government suspended logging while an independent (but government-appointed) assessment was initiated to determine if it should be added to the Victorian Conservation Reserve System.
After ten years of campaigning for the protection of Goolengook, the Victorian State election of November 2006 saw the Australian Labor party returned, with a promise to protect the Goolengook block within a new National Park.

We need the #BCgovernment to get the message from concerned communities across B.C. that we must work together and with urgency to #protect #OldGrowthForests and #reform #forestry practices. To do so, the next steps are crucial:
#StopLogging in the most at-risk #OldGrowth #forests, and other #ecosystems identified by First Nations, by providing promised funding for #LoggingDeferrals.
Provide full #FinancialSupport to #FirstNations for long-term #IndigenousLed #conservation solutions, including #compensation for lost revenues and employment.
Move away from the “all or nothing” approach common in forestry practices across B.C. and most evident in #ClearcutLogging. In its place, work with First Nations, local residents, industry and other stakeholders to implement forestry practices that prioritize important values like #biodiversity, #habitat, #WaterRetention, #Indigenous #CulturalUse, and #tourism.

How to fast-track extinction
NSW changes are designed to make logging easier
Logging glider and koala habitat is nonsensical
#EndNativeForestLogging
"New logging rules in NSW put the greater glider closer to extinction."
"The NSW Environment Protection Authority this month announced changes to rules in logging operations."
"...Ecologists were shocked by a recent announcement by New South Wales environment authorities that we believe loosens protections for southern greater gliders in logging areas."
"But sadly, extensive glider habitat has been burnt, logged or both. Climate change poses a further risk."
"Since the southern greater glider was listed as vulnerable in 2016, its habitat continued to be destroyed. This is poor management for many reasons:
gliders often die on site when their habitat is disturbed
young forests recovering after disturbances tend to be hotter and drier, which is bad for gliders because they are heat-sensitive
removing hollow-bearing trees not only destroys a key part of glider habitat immediately, but it can take decades (if not centuries) for forest to become suitable again
logging makes forests more flammable and gliders are particularly sensitive to fire
logging can change the composition of tree species in a forest, reducing the availability of quality food for gliders."
"Logging those refuges is nonsensical given the large body of scientific work demonstrating its negative effects. And tinkering around the edge of logging rules will have limited benefits."
