Orangutans need trees to live. But profit-hungry companies are tearing down and burning their rainforest homes to grow palm oil trees instead. Orangutans are shot dead when they dare explore these new plantations.
Experts don’t mince their words: unless we do everything we can right now, orangutans will be gone forever in less than 8 years.
Mondelez, Nestlé, and Unilever all buy this dirty palm oil. It’s everywhere, from snacks to detergent and make-up.
But with your help, we can save the last orangutans from cheap palm oil.
Your power has already convinced companies like McDonald’s, Starbucks, and PepsiCo to commit to no-deforestation palm oil policies. You can help us do it all again -- and save the orangutans before the end of the year.
A small monthly gift from you will help roll out tried and true winning tactics to transform the whole industry -- before it’s too late.
Will you please make a small monthly donation today?
