Hi friend,
Yesterday, it was the World Elephant Day — and today, we’re celebrating the Sumatran elephant: a gentle, intelligent, critically endangered species whose very survival hangs in the balance. These rainforest elephants have lived for generations in the dense, vibrant forests of Indonesia. They’re the smallest of all elephant species — uniquely adapted to this lush landscape, forming deep family bonds and playing a vital role in their ecosystem. But now, fewer than 1,000 remain in the wild. That’s not by accident. That’s by design. Critical rainforest habitat is being intentionally destroyed to make way for Conflict Palm Oil, paper, and pulp plantations. It’s corporate greed that is driving this destruction — clearing land for cheap ingredients to fill our snack aisles, supply our bathroom shelves, and pad quarterly profits. Elephants are losing everything — for short term corporate profits. Their food. Their water. Their freedom to move through their lands. Some are pushed out. Some are killed. And all are being forced into smaller, fragmented pockets of forest. They’re still targeted by poachers who treat their lives as commodities, and palm plantations build the roads that give these poachers access to the heart of the rainforest. And when forests fall, everything that lives within them suffers. |
