Savage Lands – Press Conference 
One Year of Collaboration with Hellfest A Look Back 

Alliance of the Trees A Unique Coalition Between the Metal Community and Environmental NGOs to Defend Biodiversity 

An unexpected alliance between extreme music and environmental protection has emerged. The Francis Hallé Association, États Sauvages, Savage Lands, and Semeurs de Forêts are joining forces to launch the Alliance of the Trees— a collaborative movement designed to raise awareness and mobilize the metal community around forest and biodiversity conservation. 

As biodiversity collapses at an accelerating rate across the globe, four French environmental organizations are coming together to found the Alliance of the Trees, an unprecedented collective that merges ecological activism with cultural influence. At their side stands an unexpected yet natural ally the Metal community, renowned for its solidarity, independence, and power to rally behind meaningful causes. 

The alliance brings together Savage Lands, États Sauvages, Semeurs de Forêts, and the Francis Hallé Association for Primary Forests. 

Reconnecting with the Living Through Emotion and Action 
Biodiversity is too often sidelined in environmental priorities. The Alliance of the Trees aims to change this by engaging a vibrant and committed cultural scene the Metal community. Far from being marginal, this movement is one of the most unifying in Europe. It provides fertile ground for launching educational, restoration, and research projects focused on forests. 

The alliance's ambition is to mobilize the Metal community on a large scale through tangible initiatives called Metal Forests — environmental “passion projects” supported by one or more alliance members, selected for their impact, exemplary nature, and mobilizing power. 
Bringing Back Natural Sanctuaries Thanks to Savage Lands and Hellfest 

Thanks to the joint efforts of Savage Lands and Hellfest, new biodiversity areas have been or will soon be created. Sanctuaries are now protected across several regions two hectares in Playa Negra (Costa Rica), three hectares in Reims, another three in Tours, and forty hectares in Vendée, in partnership with the LPO (League for the Protection of Birds). These lands are being returned to nature as long-term refuges for biodiversity. 

Heilung and More Join the Army of the Trees 
One slogan, one open license. In response to the collapse of life on Earth, the Army of the Trees introduces a unique approach an open license and slogan available to any band that wants to join the fight for biodiversity. 

Each band is free to adopt the Army’s visual, adapt it to their own aesthetic, and spread the message in their own way. There’s no set amount to contribute — all funds raised go directly to protecting biodiversity. The principle is simple let ideas flow, multiply allies, and amplify the voices of those fighting for what still remains. Heilung has joined the movement, and more bands are expected to follow this year. 

The Birth of Savage Lands' Youth Division 
Led by Soline Violin, a group of eight committed young people has launched the youth division of Savage Lands. This initiative marks a significant expansion of the movement, bringing a new generation of ecological activism to the forefront — full of fresh ideas, energy, and perspectives. A vital source of hope and lasting commitment for the years to come.
