Long live the Orangutan Capital of the World! (RAINFOREST ACTION NETWORK)

 

Dear friend, There’s a special rainforest that’s the last of its kind — the last place on Earth where critically endangered orangutans, tigers, elephants, rhinos and sun bears roam in the same forest. But their home is under immediate and ongoing threat. We need your urgent support before this one-of-a-kind rainforest, and others like it, disappears. Because right now, big corporations are profiting from tearing down trees and replacing the homes of endangered animals with Conflict Palm Oil. These vast palm plantations are the painful secret ingredient behind those cheap, name-brand snacks, chocolates, cookies and more. People who have called these rainforests home for thousands of years are being displaced and threatened, and the rainforests they rely on for their livelihoods are being destroyed before their eyes. Rainforest Action Network has joined their cause, and YOU are such a critical part of this life or death struggle. For more than a decade, we’ve worked to conduct investigations in the field, monitored the destruction through satellites and drones, and followed the cookie crumbs right to the doorsteps of giant corporations that line your grocery store aisles.

Will you help protect the Last Place on Earth? Over the next few weeks, we’ll share stories about the corporations at the center of rainforest destruction. And how, together, we can fight to protect the world’s last remaining rainforests from the Leuser Ecosystem to the East Kalimantan region of Borneo to the Amazon rainforest, and beyond. Today, these critically important ecosystems stand at a crossroads. Whether we tell a story of success and hope, or one of devastation and loss, depends on the remarkable strength and generosity of people just like you. Will you help, friend? Join our journey and learn the truth about these irreplaceable forest treasures. In solidarity, Laurel Sutherlin Director of Strategic Communications Rainforest Action Network P.S. It’s not too late to protect these last of their kind rainforests — YOU can help us write a happily ever after to this important story!
