John,

Dutch banking giant Rabobank has just been linked to off-the-scale
destruction in the Amazon.

Investigators have uncovered over 700 loans made by the bank to farmers
known for illegal deforestation. And its main business partner in Brazil
has razed almost 8000 football pitches of pristine rainforest.

But here’s the thing – Rabobank prides itself on its reputation as an
ethical lender with a “zero tolerance” deforestation policy. If we can
kick up such a fuss that we threaten that reputation, we could force them
to change course. Sign now:

Rabobank has been at this for a while – between 2000 and 2002 it
accumulated gross profits of €717 million on activities that pose a high
risk to Brazil’s precious forests and the animals and people who depend on
them.

But until now it has been flying largely under the radar, waving the flag
of sustainable agriculture while quietly lending to Amazon destroyers. We
won’t let them do that any longer.

Brazilian authorities have collected evidence of environmental crimes and
classified 326 farmers as illegal deforesters. These are Rabobank's
clients who have received hundreds of loans.

The whole world needs to know about this scandal… if enough of us sign we
can make this huge – and dial up the pressure to boiling point. Add your
name:
