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.
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:
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?
