The palm oil industry is behind a new scheme the Malaysian
government just announced to capture, cage and gift orangutans to
countries that buy huge amounts of its palm oil.
We need your help to shut it down for good !
Our team has taken on the palm oil industry before – and won. They’
re ready to hit the ground running…and with just 5000 of us
chipping in the cost of a coffee, we could :
* Launch a campaign targeting key trade countries in Europe and
beyond, pushing our political leaders to denounce the scheme and
promote Orangutan-friendly trade;
* Commission research to uncover, then expose the companies
behind this and other projects that would increase deforestation
for palm oil;
* Work with grassroots groups to lobby governments and build
up pressure inside Malaysia to drop this terrible scheme, stop the
expansion of plantations – and more !
Together we can keep the pressure on until we get this scheme
scrapped for good. Can you chip in to help ?
This “orangutan diplomacy” plan couldn’t be a worse idea :
Orangutans are already critically endangered – and now this will
be another incentive for producers to slash and burn more forests in
Borneo to make palm oil.
Malaysia is the world’s second largest producer of palm oil. If we
don’t act now to stop this scheme the palm oil industry will get
exactly what it wants : bigger palm oil plantations right in the
heart of Orangutans’ forests.
But we can stop it before it’s too late for the orangutans, and the
forests they need to live.
Ekō members have powered our fights against the palm oil industry
before – and thanks to you all we’ve won big ! Like when we helped
the Moi people fight to protect a New York City-sized swathe of
Indonesian rainforest from predatory palm oil companies or when we
forced Pepsi to change it's palm oil sourcing policy. We’re ready to
do it again – all we need now to pull it off is your help. Can you chip
in the cost of coffee to save the orangutans ?
