Six years ago, something extraordinary took root.

In the midst of a global pandemic, people across Goa came together in one of the largest environmental movements in the state’s history. Students, scientists, artists, lawyers, fisherfolk, farmers, teachers, grandparents and children stood shoulder to shoulder to protect Mollem National Park and Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary from three linear infrastructure projects that threatened to fragment one of the most biodiverse forests in the Western Ghats.

What began as resistance became something much bigger. A movement that reminded us that forests are not empty land waiting for development, but living worlds filled with countless relationships. A movement that continues to inspire people far beyond Goa.

To celebrate six wild years of Amche Mollem, we’ve created this sticker pack featuring some of the remarkable species that call these forests home. From the Flame-throated Bulbul, Goa’s state bird, to the Tufted Gray Langur resting high in the canopy, each one is a small reminder of what we continue to stand for.

This movement is far from over. Every generation deserves forests alive with birdsong, fungi, elephants, insects, streams and stories.

Here’s to six years of courage, community and collective action. And here’s to many more.

Six years on, and Amche Mollem is as alive as ever.

What began as a collective refusal has grown into one of Goa’s most powerful people’s movements. It has brought together artists, scientists, lawyers, students, researchers, musicians, journalists, farmers, fisherfolk, forest lovers, and thousands of ordinary citizens who chose to believe that another future is possible.

This movement has never belonged to one person or one moment. It belongs to everyone who has shown up, again and again, with care, courage, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to Goa’s forests and communities.

Six years later, our roots run deeper. New voices continue to join. New friendships continue to form. New ideas continue to emerge. We carry with us the memory of what we have protected, and the responsibility of what still lies ahead.

We are not going anywhere.

Happy six years to everyone who has made, shaped, defended, documented, sung, marched, illustrated, researched, organised, and dreamed this movement into being.

The forest still calls. And together, we continue to answer.

As we stand at the cusp of marking six incredible years of Amche Mollem, this feels like a moment we need to pause, breathe deeply and reflect.

Over these years, this movement has carried all of us through so much. We have witnessed immense beauty and painful losses, together.

We have celebrated victories, sat with grief, lost our loved ones, built friendships, stood shoulder to shoulder through exhausting days, and continued showing up for our forests and for each other.

What began as resistance grew into something far larger, a living citizen movement held together by care, courage, community, and an unwavering love for Goa.

Through every march, meeting, artwork, song, legal battle, conversation, and act of solidarity, people pour their energy and hope into keeping this movement alive.

And because of that, it still thrives today.

We’ll be taking a pause on our social media pages over the coming days and reflecting on the extraordinary journey this movement has taken us on together.

Before stepping into another year of continued resistance and collective dreaming, this is a moment to look back at how far we’ve come and forward to the future we are still fighting to build, a Goa full of her forests, rivers, biodiversity, and it’s beautiful communities of people that refuse to give up on one another.

Stay tuned for updates as we step into our 6th year of Amche Mollem.

Father Bolmax Pereira quietly became one of the many forces that nurtured a deeper relationship between young people and the land in Goa. Through the Chicalim Youth Farmers Club’s “You Sow, You Eat” initiative, students were invited into the fields not simply to learn about farming, but to understand care, patience, food systems and ecological responsibility through direct experience.

Under his mentorship, students from schools and colleges across Goa participated in every stage of cultivation, from preparing the soil and sowing seeds to harvesting seasonal vegetables and fruits. In a time where food often arrived disconnected from the labour, soil and ecosystems that sustained it, initiatives like these became deeply important acts of reconnection.

Father Bolmax’s approach bridged science, environmental stewardship and community learning in ways that felt accessible and grounded. His guidance encouraged students to understand soil health, plant growth and sustainability not as abstract concepts, but as living relationships shaped through touch, observation and responsibility.

Through and his years of mentorship, he sowed seeds of environmental consciousness and agricultural pride in younger generations, leaving behind a legacy rooted in care for both people and the land.

The land and it’s people shall never forget, and will always remember 💔

A guardian has fallen.

Fr. Bolmax was a rare soul, the kind who comes once in a generation. His presence was quiet but seismic, the sort that shifts the ground beneath a movement and the hearts of everyone in it.

His passing is a loss felt across all species: human beings, animals, reptiles, plants, fungi, insects, and so much more. It is mourned by the seas, the hills, the rivers, and most of all by the forests, the farmlands, and the mangroves he fought so fiercely to protect. The land itself feels lighter without him, and heavier all at once.

Fr. Bolmax, thank you for lighting the way for young people and adults alike. Thank you for showing us that to love Goa is to defend her soil, her songs, her people. Thank you for every single thing you did, and for everything you stood for.

We hold close the legacy you leave behind, and the words and dance of Jerusalema, the song that became our anthem of hope, resistance, and victory during the movement:

Ndawo yami ayikho lana (My place is not here)
Mbuso wami awukho lana (My kingdom is not here)
Ngilondoloze (Guard me, protect me)
Uhambe nami (Walk with me)
Zungangishiyi lana (Do not leave me here)

Walk with us still, Father. We will keep guarding what you loved.

Rest in power. 🌿
