Target: Companies that use palm oil
Region: GLOBAL
Web site: http://palmoilaction.org
Background (Preamble):
Millions of hectares of natural rainforest in Indonesia are being destroyed, right as you read this, for palm oil plantations.
Not only is this detrimental for the environment, but for the animals that require this forest for homes and habitats.
Two endangered species, the orangutan and the Sumatran Tiger, are being driven from their homes, forced into villages looking for food and shelter, where they are captured and killed.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, demand this destruction of natural rainforests to stop immediately.
Funding by large corporations, such as Tesco, Arnotts and Nestlé, should promote sustainable palm oil operations that minimise the impact on land and the harm of animals.
