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.
Mondelez, Nestlé, and Unilever all buy this dirty palm oil. It’s everywhere, from snacks to detergents and make-up. These palm oil-thirsty brands promised to clean up their act by 2020 -- but they’ve failed miserably.
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 they’re gone for good.
A small regular gift from you will help roll out tried and true winning tactics to transform the whole industry -- before it’s too late. Can we count on your small regular donation today?
