Last update: 11 hours agoFrench Guiana Conservation: France is creating a new protected area in French Guiana—“Rocky Peaks of Armontabo”—covering about 370,000 acres of granite mountains surrounded by intact rainforest, as part of a broader wildlands protection push that also strengthens safeguards across the country. Space & Industry (French Guiana link): Ariane 6 launched from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on June 17, deploying 36 satellites for Amazon’s Leo constellation; the mission used four new P160C-based boosters to boost power and set a new European record for largest payload sent by a European rocket. Culture & Public Life (France, diaspora angle): Fête de la Musique (“World Music Day”) drew millions to Paris, with growing visibility of Black diaspora music and younger crowds—French rap, zouk, soca, kompa and more—fuelled by viral social media clips. Panthéon & Memory: Marc Bloch and his wife were honored with remains transferred to the Panthéon, a ceremony framed as a reaffirmation of republican values amid renewed antisemitism. International Politics (opinion): A commentary argues that modern “anti-Zionism” is treated as a creed rather than policy debate, tying it to broader European political and cultural currents.
