We’ve just released a new report that ties giant corporations like PepsiCo and Nestlé to the destruction of nearly 10,000 hectares of pristine forest in Indonesia––an area bigger than Manhattan!
Here’s the bad news: our report is just scratching the surface. Most palm oil companies bulldoze forests to feed the ever growing demand for palm oil that goes into snacks, cosmetics, detergents, ...the list is endless. But there’s hope.
Over the past few years, together, members like you have helped win some amazing victories.
You forced major companies like Starbucks and McDonald’s to commit to zero deforestation policies. We only achieved this because of your support: donations from you meant we organized actions on the ground and offline; e’ve produced hard-hitting videos that went viral, traveled to shareholder meetings, and met with execs of top 100 companies.
The palm oil industry is still wreaking havoc on the world’s most precious rainforests and peat land. But we’re running out of funds and we need your help to keep this important campaign going. We need you to help save the rainforest, the endangered species, the people.
Will you please make a small monthly gift today to help us protect our rainforests from palm oil destruction?
