What the petition asks
Palm oil trade is a huge problem. We are cutting down forests and making spaces for palm trees, by doing this we are killing innocent animals like orangutans. If we stop using palm oil we will not be supporting the killing of these animals.
So far over 50,000 orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra have died because of palm oil deforestation.This is happening all around us, we need to act fast, we need to act now.
