Together with community hosts, volunteers and supporters, we are presenting six short films to show the beauty, strength, and diversity of takayna and the campaign to save a unique rainforest from a toxic tailings dam.
Witness the strength of the campaign to protect ancient takayna through these stories. Watch the discovery of a pair of Masked Owls in the threatened forest, and see the incredibly rare footage that ultimately led to the successful legal challenge against MMG. Learn about the discovery of an entirely new species of moth, living only in takayna’s ancient myrtle rainforests. Be inspired by the months-long mobilisation of citizens against the destruction of takayna – with more than 90 people arrested – and cheer as we ultimately drive MMG’s machinery from the forests – for now. Hear these and other inspirational stories of dedication, commitment, and the battle to protect a rainforest.
The battle is not yet over though – join us and learn how you can be involved.
