HELP GOJIRA MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE AMAZON RAINFOREST
THIS IS A CALL FOR UNITY and solidarity with indigenous peoples, to end genocide and ecocide in the Amazon.
On March 26 we released our new single “Amazonia”. We wrote this song because we feel heartbroken to see the last ancient forest on earth disappearing before our eyes. If it continues at this rate, there will be no more Amazon forest in 15 years. We decided to do something to help the situation. We chose to make a donation and organize an auction to raise money around this release. We want to be vocal about it, raise awareness and start a movement with the help of our brothers and sisters from the metal / rock scene.
HOW TO SAVE THE AMAZON?
Since the dramatic increase of criminal fires and deforestation in the Amazon in 2019, we have been doing extensive research and speaking with some of the fiercest activists in the United States, France and Brazil. We’ve asked for their opinions their opinion and guidance on how to help with the conservation and reforestation of the Amazon rainforest. We quickly understood that the only way to protect the forest is to ensure the survival of its indigenous inhabitants.
Farmlands are taking over the forest at an incredible pace. The current Brazilian government is aggravating the situation. Attacks on indigenous peoples and general violence against them has been increasing at an alarming rate. Harassment, murder, criminal fires on indigenous land… is what’s happening right now.
We have a responsibility: Europe and America are Brazil’s largest markets for consumer goods and raw materials. Our consumer behavior thus helped trigger the situation in Amazonia and is providing incentives for the burning of the rainforest.
The impact of the destruction of the Amazon and its biodiversity can hardly be estimated. It is an irreparable loss for humankind!
The pressure on the Amazon and the (indigenous) peoples living there is growing steadily.

WE CAN HELP INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES TO FIGHT BACK!
We spoke with the famous Sonia Guajajara, leader of the Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil (Brazil’s Indigenous People Articulation or "APIB"), an organization that represents around 300 indigenous ethnic groups in Brazil and is known as the biggest indigenous owned NGO of the Amazon. We decided to collaborate with Sonia, APIB and many other indigenous leaders to amplify their call for solidarity and support, and orchestrate a movement amongst the music community. We are a community, a clan. Fellow musicians, music lovers, managers, booking agents, fans! Please help us spread this message!
We have the power to make a change. If we act together, we can make a stir and raise money that will empower the guardians of the forest in these critical times and allow us to participate in a plan to contribute in something important for the future of our planet. We will follow up to show tangible results of this operation.
We’ve already made a first donation of $5,000 to the Guarani-Kaiowa community to help finance the construction of 15 “healing houses” to ensure the birthright and health of its people already one “healing house” has been financed so far and hoping to fund many more. This initiative will continue to be financed under the umbrella of the auction for APIB. Other projects will be financed through APIB once these healing houses are built
Thank you in advance for your contribution! Much love and respect
Joe, Mario, Christian and Jean-Michel

Gojira isn't just the best band in the world, they're good people. Thank you, guys.
they truly do care about the world around them as much as the quality of their music
We´re blessed to have this band
@@tristanwalker1730 definitely.
@@tristanwalker1730 agree!
Heavy dudes with humanist hearts and pure, compassionate spirits.
This is a better planet for having Gojira on it. Thank you for everything.
A fellow hockey and Gojira fan? Wassup brother
Eh, didn't know to many hockey guys where also into metal.
Just wanted to say hello from Weslaco, Texas! Gojira rules!
Agree 100%
Yessir! Gojira doing the work others are too afraid to do. Nice PFP btw. GO STARS
I love that Gojira isn't just some lyrics about making the world better, they put action with it. Much respect.
For real
Yeah we all know doing something is x10 times harder than talking. These guys are real deal imo.
Toxic Garbage Island has engraved the repercussions of plastic littering for me to this day.
Plastic bag in the sea \m/
Exactly
Haters: Metal is evil and makes people violent and angry!
Gojira: Literally helping the planet and preventing mistreatment of Indigenous people.
"iT's tHe DeViL's MuSiC!!!!" - My mom
Yeah and about drugs and stuff, but for real a lot of songs are about sobriety and making it through and stuff like this, and I think that's awesome🤘
Intentions are everything. It’s also one of my favorite songs by Tool.
This band is so amazing man. As a brazilian I can say they are supporting a huge cause. I'm so proud of them. Thank you guys so much.

I've never heard a French person speak English so well in my life.
Joe lived in the USA for a long time 😉

Joe has sung in english since day one so he probably learned early on to stop "zhe adding of z's zo words zhat don't have zhem"
@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 again, lots of French artists sing in English, they still never sound anywhere near as clear and un-French when speaking it as Joe does. Usually French people are like the Chinese, it's impossible for them to speak English without an insanely strong accent. It's just unusual to hear.

Maybe it's a conscious effort, he does stutter and slur alot.
THANK YOU, guys! My country will be forever grateful 🇧🇷🇧🇷
When Gojira flies hundreds of times in a career it does not impact the Amazon? How many thousand tons of CO2? When they touring with Metallica (who fly in a private jet on American tours) it doesn't impact the Amazon? the Amazon forest needs that we avoid this kind of overconsumption, and avoid putting forward this kind of attitude. Their help represents nothing compared to their damage
@@liamlee6564 quit moaning about fate and change
@@liamlee6564 don't put the blame on them if you just don't want to help the people from there. if they don't work, which envolves travelling here and there, they won't have visibility enough to put such a deed in practice. you could just keep your mouth shut instead of inventing reasons to criticize the band. don't wanna be impolite, but this level of stupidity is hard to swallow. it's clear that planes wouldn't stop flying if they stayed at home.
@@liamlee6564 Flying all over the world sure aggravates the carbon footprint and it sure pollutes like hell. You're absolutely right on this point. But the biggest part of the problem comes from chopping down and burning down the primal rainforest, as well as fucking up the oceans which generates the majority of our oxygen (a lot more than the forest actually), not to mention the ice cap that is melting and global warming. All this really destroys our world. The planes add a bit more to the catastrophe. I would not blame Gojira for trying to compensate for their own carbon footprint.
@@liamlee6564 at least theyre doing something do you!
thank you for being concerned with our nature, since the government does not give due attention, thank you for helping the Brazilian people in the Amazon
@Dr S4T4N it's not butching a tree, it's using dry leaves, dead barks and dead trunks, what the fuck are you saying
@@luizsouza240 he’s talking out his Pie-hole which is what you can expect from internet trolls like himself.
@Dr S4T4N You must have a real sad life if you have to go out of your way to be so pessimistic about everything and troll just to feel better about yourself
@Dr S4T4N Coppicing some trees from their local area can actually help the forest floor get more sunlight, meaning more ground flora, they selectively cut to avoid trees that are old and ones that are young and need to grow, because they know the land there. You should be concerned about Bolsonaro and other major environmental crimes from Eurasia, America to Africa and Australia, basically, learn a little about ecology, and then formulate a proper sentence with valid criticism.
Our government is not only not giving the due attention. Our government is acting destructively on purpose.
Metal bands like this are those who make the difference. Thank you. 🇧🇷
As a person who lives in Amazonia, I'm very happy with that initiative. There's many indigenous communities far of the big urban areas. They need health care and education and our rivers increase the distances. That initiative will help them a lot.
This is incredible. Not only I am supporting my favorite band, but I am also doing something for the environment as well. Gojira is truly a masterpiece of a band.
Como Brasileiro, eu fico mt feliz pela música e pela atitude
Eu fico puto, mais um gringo metendo a mão na nossa amazônia. Falou muito pra na realidade só ir nos roubar
@@fraternidadeaustriaca2625 Metendo a mão nada, inclusive tá fazendo mais do que o governo atual.
@@fraternidadeaustriaca2625 Calado ancap.
Parece que alguns gringos procuram mais saber da história que alguns reaças brasileiros
@@fraternidadeaustriaca2625 To be clear, they are not doing this to take profit or anything like that. A very important part of this planet wich highly affects the sustainability of this planet is being fucked up by us, and it happens the be located in your country. They are "metendo a mão" not to take but to heal our world.
I don’t make too much money but will donate $50 every pay period till the deadline! Thanks for the awesome music throughout the years, and your humanitarianism. ❤️
The problem is that most of humans needs some idols to see things. Most of gojira fans had no idea about the amazon. Its great to see engaged artist but things will never get better if people cant see the truth by themselves. We need a deeper change deep in our roots. God bless everyone reading this.
Roots, bloody roots.
Regardless of where it comes from, as long as there's people who feel even the smallest incentive to donate then that's all that matters. Its like the situation where people record themselves helping the homeless for views and clout. Who cares if they are doing it for validation, they're still helping someone who needs it and that's all that matters.
It's a start. I mean, Band Aid and all those other big musical activism projects of the 1980s were pretty flaky, but at the same time I think they really did make people more aware of the problems they were addressing. And they did raise a whole bunch of money. This isn't big. It's not Phil Collins and Dolly Parton and Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson holding hands and singing together. It's one band talking directly to their fans about concrete goals. And I think that does make people take notice.
@@allisonmackay3818 of course I agree with that. But everyone are the same, they gonna go "oh Gojira is taking care of it I can keep playing xbox". Humanity has no more humanity inside. The fact that people can just walk pass homeless ppl is tells it all. If humans dont change inside things will keep getting worst. Values we have are all upside down. Right is wrong and wrong is right. We are living in a satanic society.... Every one that reads this, go read the satanic tenets this is an exact replica of the society. Need more Jesus around yooooo. God bless you all.
Not everyone on the planet has had the chance to get a proper education. So yeah, you always need whistle blowers to raise awareness on these issues. Humanity has a tradition to gather around leaders.
As a fellow Brazilian who deeply cares for Amazonia, i couldn't be any prouder for having Gojira as one of my favourite bands. You guys are awesome! Thank you so much
Save the earth go vegan
@@KevIn-ej3gm veganism is literally worse for the amazon than any other diet.

And also, we appreciate your concern about our forest that's not only important for us Brazilians, it's important for the whole planet
Gojira doing more for Brazil than our president, love you guys ❤❤❤
Isso não é muito difícil na real, mas palmas pra eles de qualquer forma
O cara nem daqui é, e ja esta fazendo mais do que a classe artística brasielira que só fala fala e nao ajudam em nada.

As a Brazilian im very proud of this project and proud of this band.
God... I'm so proud of you GOJIRA 🖤
Greetings from Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬
Y’all are really solidifying yourselves as one of my favorite bands of all time. Thank you for continuing to spread the same message since The Way of All Flesh in 2008. We all have to work together to make positive change, and your fans appreciate you spearheading this movement.
They have been doing that way before TWOAF and before 2008. :) Check out there earlier albums and lyrical subjects. Other than that, I totally stand by your statement. :)
I will turn 18 in about two months.
Giving a little help to the people of the Amazon via one of my favourites bands could be an awesome way to celebrate my birthday...
That's beautiful indeed ... Nice to read this in a Sunday morning. Happy Birthday
I did donate. It wouldn't make me poorer. People, let's team-up. Nobody educates us to shed the light on what's happening in the world but agriculture and pollution are the worst. Let's do everything within our hands to reduce harm on our precious Mother Earth to last it as long as it can. Let's maintain, cherish, appreciate and love our planet! Otherwise.... "We will see, our children growing!"
Thank you, Gojira, for launching such a beautiful project. I truly believe it's going in the right direction.
Nós, brasileiros que queremos o bem da nossa floresta, agradecemos a todos do Gojira pelo apoio!
We real Brazilians are immensely flattered and thankful for your attitude. The least I can say is thank you very much.
I love you, Gojira and everything you guys do whether you are on stage or off more and more each day. Keep up the incredible work! Heading to donate now!
You are always ALWAYS making me proud of saying gojira is my favorite band in my life. Im really proud of u guys. Thank you for everything u do to the world ❤️
And this is why Gojira is the Best band, using their power for good!
Done. Thank you guys for being so inspirational and using your influence to truly make a difference. Artists everywhere should strive to be like you. Much love 🤘🖤
O que vocês estão fazendo pela Amazônia é algo incível! Muito respeito por vocês. Ressalto que a Amazônia tem de ser RESPEITADA e CUIDADA por todos!

As a brazilian I am so happy with this initiative! But also that makes me kind of sad, because I realize our (useless) president is not capable of helping our people and our forest :(
Can you explain why so many vote for him?
@@thomas.thomas long story ... Brazil is a relatively violent country, and we are going through an economic crisis and currency devaluation, Bolsonaro promised that he would solve all these problems (and he failed miserably). Also, a large part of the population is elitist and conservative, they believe in any sh*t, for example, a "communist conspiracy", so they blame the left-wing for everything. During the campaign, Bolsonaro invested A LOT in marketing, religious + nacionalist bullsh*t and fake news on social media. About Amazon forest... Bolsonaro blames indigenous people for putting fire and some idiots believe in him.
It is great to hear that a band's music revolves around environmenatal issues and about indengenious people. I just started listening Gorija a couple of years ago and I can tell you that I am very impressed.
You guys are doing so much, thank you! Brazil loves you!

Thank you for being you guys. Gojira does help to protect earth. Will definetly donate. Love your music and the initiative. all the power to you guys moving forward🤘🏻🙌🏻
Honestly so happy to see people trying to make a difference and having one of your favorite bands do it really makes it special, knowing your role models are pure of heart makes you wanna be like them and make a difference aswell, much love ♥ can't wait for the 30th of April and untill then definitely gonna donate what I can
