Dear John,

Over ten years ago, the world’s biggest retail companies committed to ending
deforestation in their supply chains by 2020. But here we are in 2021 and these
companies failed to meet their deadline. Take action now.

The Consumer Goods Forum -- a consortium of companies like Nestle and Procter
and Gamble -- has failed. At the same time, the global deforestation crisis
rages as unprecedented fires, species loss, and violence against communities
continue at an alarming rate.

Year after year we watch as the world’s greatest rainforests -- from the Amazon
to Indonesia -- burn at the hands of corporations. We need your help to hold the
Consumer Goods Forum accountable!

Take action now. Demand consumer companies end deforestation!

paper -- ingredients that appear in thousands of consumer goods. Everyday brands like Procter & Gamble, Nestle, and Tyson are responsible for
the destruction of rainforests around the world!

But these companies are not just complicit in cutting down the world’s last
standing forests. Their supply chains are destroying endangered species habitat,
encroaching on Indigenous Peoples’ lands, and driving an epidemic of violence
and murder against local communities. Four land and environmental defenders are
killed every week for protecting their ancestral lands -- and agribusiness is
the second deadliest sector in the entire world.

Intact and healthy rainforests help safeguard our planet against the climate
crisis. As forests are destroyed, we get closer and closer to a climate tipping
point.

Consumer companies can halt deforestation and human rights abuses in their
supply chains, but they won’t unless they hear from activists like you,
John. The time to act is now!

Tell the Consumer Goods Forum enough is enough: Protect forests and human
rights!

2014 and 2018. From 2014 to 2019, global tree cover loss increased by a
disturbing 43%. And annual CO2 emissions from tropical deforestation now equal the annual
emissions from the European Union.

The Consumer Goods Forum acknowledged they have fallen short on their
commitment. They need to take bold action to match the scale of the crisis the
world is facing.

We need your help to push these powerful companies to back up their words with
tangible and meaningful action -- enact policies that halt the conversion of
tropical forests to plantations, ensure respect for Indigenous Peoples land
rights, and pledge zero-tolerance for violence and murder against land
defenders. Will you join us to push them before the planet reaches a tipping
point?

Demand corporations stop their assault on the planet. Our future depends on it.
