Help us dispel an evil dark magic on Halloween! (RAINFOREST ACTION NETWORK)

 

It's a spooky time of year, dear friend. But not every monster goes bump in the night. Some monsters brrr with the intensity of a diesel engine, their sharp metal claws and saws tearing and chewing through wood and dense vegetation without remorse. If you listen closely, you can even hear the heavy snap and moan as another tree is cut down in the rainforest. Take a breath and you can smell the acrid smoke that hangs thickly in the air. Some villains are more gruesome than Michael or more calculating than Dexter. It’s no illusion that major soy traders withdrew from the Amazon Soy Moratorium earlier this year.1 Without this critical safeguard that’s helped keep soy grown on newly deforested land out of supply chains for nearly two decades, rainforests are even more vulnerable to those who would seek profits above else. Raise your lantern and face the monsters With the frequent droughts and ongoing effects of Super El Niño, forest fires are raging with unheard of intensity. And when agribusinesses illegally clear out vegetation using fire,2 simply paying a fine won’t resurrect everything that was lost. This Halloween, as you enjoy your treats, don’t be fooled by corporations’ tricks. And if you feel a chill down your spine, it might just be the rainforest, and thousands of endangered species, asking for your help. Because from the Amazon rainforest to the rainforests of Northern Sumatra and Eastern Borneo, countless animals tremble in fear as their homes are torn down, steel monstrosities wheel about wildly, and flames chase them as they flee. Be a forest defender for Halloween! Join us in our fight against the real monsters this Halloween: the corporate vampires, the greedy goblins, and the forest-destroying demons. With your support, we can ensure that the tales of the world’s rainforests remain filled with wonder and magic, not shadows and despair. Let's rewrite this horror story, together, this Halloween!
