[ [link removed] ]Endangered orangutan from Borneo, looking at you
John,
25 orangutans will die today. Just like yesterday, and tomorrow.
Palm oil deforestation is killing the last orangutans on our planet, and
if we don’t act now, there won’t be any left by the end of the decade.
Orangutans need trees to live. But profit-hungry companies are tearing
down and burning their rainforest homes — all so the likes of Mondelez and
Nestlé can put palm oil in products like snacks and detergents.
But with your help, we can save the last orangutans from cheap palm oil.
Together we’ve convinced McDonald’s, Starbucks, and PepsiCo to commit to
no-deforestation palm oil policies. You can help us do it all again — a
donation from you today will help roll out tried and true winning tactics
to transform the whole industry — before the orangutans are gone forever.
Can I count on you to chip in?

Every year, millions of acres of pristine rainforest are destroyed — and
replaced by huge palm oil plantations.
Deprived of their natural habitat, orangutans starve. When they feed off
palm fruits on plantations, they’re shot. Villagers often find dead
orangutans — in 2018, one unlucky orangutan was shot 130 times in Borneo.
But we’ve won fights like this before, using everything we can against
these greedy companies.
If we all come together, we can force the palm oil industry to adopt and
enforce stronger standards to protect the rainforest. We CAN save the
orangutans before it's too late — but we can only do that with you by our
side.
Can you chip in to save the orangutans?

Every single donation will help us get the necessary intel, respond to
more tip-offs, and roll out even bolder tactics to compete with Nestlé,
Mondelez, and Unilever’s well-oiled, well-funded marketing machines.
Campaigning to push the palm oil industry to do the right thing costs
money — whether it’s with brand-damaging ads and billboards, viral videos,
or commissioning research to dig up dirt on them.
We may never match the deep pockets of Unilever and Nestlé, but when all
of us chip in a little bit, we become powerful enough to take them on.
Will you donate today to help save the orangutans?
