New research shows more than half a million hectares of
pristine Amazon rainforest has been chopped down to make way for
industrial cattle ranches in Brazil. And French supermarket
giant Casino is buying this meat.
Indigenous Forest Defenders are taking Casino to court and
demanding reparations for human rights violations and
environmental damage, but the trial doesn’t start till next
year.
The Amazon rainforest and Indigenous communities can’t wait that
long for the deforestation to stop. That’s where we come in. If
we can create a massive public outcry, and the risk of consumer
backlash and falling sales, Casino will have no choice but to act
now.
Will you sign the petition? Tell Casino to stop
profiting from Amazon-destroying beef!
New supply chain research has been able to link cattle raised
on the illegally deforested land directly to slaughterhouses run by
the notorious JBS, which supplies beef to the Casino Group.
JBS is known for stealing Indigenous land, bribery, forced labour
allegations and also illegally destroying swathes of Amazon
rainforest. We can’t let these massive corporations get away with
this.
Demand Casino stop selling beef that’s come from
illegally deforested Amazon.
When we come together and take action we have real impact. Like
when we got Quebec's public pension fund manager to stop
investing in JBS after we exposed its role in destroying the Amazon
rainforest. Let’s do it again and stop Casino from profiting
from Amazon deforestation.
