John,

The palm oil industry is behind a new scheme the Malaysian government just announced to capture, cage and gift orangutans to countries that buy huge amounts of its palm oil.

We need your help to shut it down for good!

Our team has taken on the palm oil industry before – and won. They’re ready to hit the ground running…and with just 5000 of us chipping in the cost of a coffee, we could:

• Launch a campaign targeting key trade countries in Europe and beyond, pushing our political leaders to denounce the scheme and promote Orangutan-friendly trade;

• Commission research to uncover, then expose the companies behind this and other projects that would increase deforestation for palm oil;

• Work with grassroots groups to lobby governments and build up pressure inside Malaysia to drop this terrible scheme, stop the expansion of plantations – and more!

Together we can keep the pressure on until we get this scheme scrapped for good. Can you chip in the cost of a coffee to help?

This “orangutan diplomacy” plan couldn’t be a worse idea: Orangutans are already critically endangered – and now this will be another incentive for producers to slash and burn more forests in Borneo to make palm oil.

Malaysia is the world’s second largest producer of palm oil. If we don’t act now to stop this scheme the palm oil industry will get exactly what it wants: bigger palm oil plantations right in the heart of Orangutans’ forests.

But we can stop it before it’s too late for the orangutans, and the forests they need to live.

Ekō members have powered our fights against the palm oil industry before – and thanks to you all we’ve won big! Like when we helped the Moi people fight to protect a New York City-sized swathe of Indonesian rainforest from predatory palm oil companies or when we forced Pepsi to change it's palm oil sourcing policy.  We’re ready to do it again – all we need now to pull it off is your help. John, can you chip in the cost of coffee to save the orangutans?
