Right now, profit-hungry companies are hacking away and burning forests — all so the likes of Mondelez and Nestlé can put palm oil in snacks and detergents. By working alongside local groups, we can fight to protect more critical forest and enforce no-deforestation zones. And with our crack team of campaigners, we can take the fight into boardrooms and AGMs. Campaigning to change the palm oil industry costs money — whether it's brand-damaging ads, digging up dirt to uncover shady practices, buying shares, or mobilising shareholders, employees and consumers. Every single donation helps 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. Can you chip in to save the last orangutans? [I'll donate $3]( donate $4]( [I'll donate $5]( donate $9]( donate another amount]( Deforestation in Indonesia has increased for the second year in a row – and it’s showing no signs of slowing. Millions of acres of pristine forest are being destroyed — and replaced by huge palm oil plantations and smaller processing mills. Deprived of their natural habitat, orangutans die. When they feed off palm fruits on plantations, they’re shot. Villagers often find dead orangutans — 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 forests — but we can only do that with you by our side. Can you chip in to save the orangutans before it's too late? [I'll donate $3]( donate $4]( [I'll donate $5]( donate $9]( donate another amount]( Together we’ve convinced McDonald’s, Starbucks, and PepsiCo to commit to no-deforestation palm oil policies – now we need your help to do it again. If even just 5000 of us chip in, we can double down on tried and true winning tactics to transform the whole industry before orangutans are gone forever. 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. Can you chip in now to save the orangutans?
