In your home right now there are likely to be a number of products that you use & consume everyday which contain Palm Oil from Borneo or Sumatra. To enable us to have these products millions of hectares of natural Rainforest are being destroyed to be replaced with Palm Oil Plantations.
Palm Oil is made from Oil Trees. Oil Trees can be found in Maylasia, South Africa, Indonesia, Columbia, countries where wild animals live, including Orangutans. To get Palm Oil you must cut down Oil Trees, which means you have to demolish wild animals habitat.
The destruction of this last pristine tropical peatswamp forest also highly contributes to climate change due to logging and drainage of the impressive carbon stock of its peat soils.
It is not too late yet! You can help us in the fight to preserve the remaining forest.
Please join in asking Supermarkets to ensure that the Palm Oil used in their products comes from Orangutan Friendly, sustainable, non-destructive sources. If trees had been cut down plant there but do not cut forest to plant and do not create islands where animals cannot live.
