The “orangutan capital of the world” is being torn to shreds for cheap
palm oil, and the maker of Cadbury, Oreo and Ritz is buying it up to sell
snacks.

Tell snack giant Mondelēz to cut ties with the company bulldozing this
precious forest:

John,

The only place on Earth where orangutans, elephants, rhinos, and tigers
live together is being ripped to shreds to make way for palm oil.

Indonesia’s Leuser ecosystem is the “orangutan capital of the world”, and
it’s slowly dying as greedy companies like Mondelēz place profits above
all.

By sourcing from Royal Golden Eagle (RGE) -- one of the world’s most
notorious forest-destroyers -- the maker of Cadbury, Oreo and Ritz is
knowingly buying up the palm oil that’s killing this precious ecosystem.

We know that RGE can’t afford to lose a buyer as big as Mondelēz -- so
that’s where you come in. We need to create a huge outcry to show Mondelēz
that consumers in every corner of the globe can see what it’s doing -- and
want it to cut ties with this dirty palm oil.

[ [link removed] ]Will you add your name to save the orangutan capital of the world from
palm oil devastation?

The Leuser Ecosystem is a spectacular expanse of rare, intact rainforest.
Once it’s gone, we’ll never get it back. Its rainforests and peatlands are
an essential corridor for a herd of over 200 elephants -- one of the many
species that are dying for palm oil.

Since 2014, our friends at Rainforest Action Network have been exposing
Mondelēz’s ties to the destruction of the orangutan capital of the world.
Despite its warm words to clean up its palm oil problem it’s still buying
from Leuser-destroyer Royal Golden Eagle.

But Mondelēz has a weak spot: its brands like Oreo, Philadelphia, Ritz and
Cadbury are in every store around the world, and it has a reputation to
keep up. A giant global outcry could set off alarms bells at Mondelēz HQ
-- and we need you to make that happen:

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to stop Mondelēz destroying the orangutan capital of the
world.

You’ve got an incredible track record of winning against palm oil
offenders. Since 2014 we’ve forced companies like McDonald’s, Dunkin’
Donuts, and Starbucks to commit to no-deforestation palm oil policies.

Together, we can clean up the palm oil industry and force Mondelēz to drop
this dirty palm oil from its supply chains. But this fight is bigger than
Mondelēz. It’s the world’s third biggest maker of chocolates. If we force
this industry laggard to clean up its act, it’ll have a domino effect on
competitors like Ferrero. That’s why your help is so important -- can we
count on you?
