What the petition asks
Palm oil is the leading cause for deforestation across the world - each year we’re losing more and more of the rainforests for plantations.
In the next three years, as a direct result of this, we could see all Bornean orangutans wipes out in Borneo.
All because of palm oil.

All because of palm oil.
The world's rainforests are home to over half of all plants & animals on earth despite the fact they cover less than 5% of it's surface.
Palm oil is found in everything. Our closest relatives are just one of the animals gravely affected by the loss of the rainforests.
We need to ban unsustainably sourced palm oil to protect these creatures & rainforests that will be destroyed if we don’t stop now.
