Earth Defender has been shortlisted in the Best VFX category at the Asia Pacific Awards.

To tell this story, we needed to show not only the forest’s beauty, but also the scale and violence of its destruction.

Our VFX partner rose to the challenge by blending on-location drone footage, 3D and 2D enhancements, practical effects and CGI to create a world both haunting and urgent.

Thank you and congratulations to the Heckler team!

The Amazon is burning. Who is behind this?

800M trees cut in 6 years for cattle ranching, wiping out 17,000 km² of Amazon forest, according to AidEnvironment. This isn’t a glitch, it’s the system.

It’s not an accident. It’s not an oversight.

Big Agriculture needs to be held accountable. Ahead of COP30, demand world leaders to Respect The Amazon.
