11.3.2025 13:17Comment on Violence for Palm Oil Against Peasant Communities in Honduras Meets Resistance by Breaking newsIn the Aguán Valley of northern Honduras, peasant communities reclaiming ancestral lands face increasing violence and intimidation from armed groups linked to organised crime. The Dinant Corporation, a prominent palm oil producer, is accused of land theft and involvement in the murders of local activists. International organisations have condemned these human rights abuses, with a coalition of 33 organisations calling for a boycott of Dinant and for multinational companies: Pepsi, ADM, Cargill and Nestle to immediately cease business with Dinant. Despite governmental promises to address the conflict, concrete actions remain absent. You can resist for them in solidarity by boycotting their products in the supermarket! #BoycottPalmOil #LandRights #IndigenousRights #HumanRights
11.3.2025 13:17Violence for Palm Oil Against Peasant Communities in Honduras Meets ResistanceThe Glaucous #Macaw stands out not only for their vibrant coloration but also for their vocalisations, which led to its Guaraní name "guaa-obi." As part of a larger group of neotropical macaws, they are closely related to the Lear's macaw (A. leari) and the hyacinth macaw (A. hyacinthinus). Although often confused with similar species, the Glaucous Macaw is a unique denizen of South America's gallery forests and palm savannahs. Use your wallet as a weapon and help the Glaucous Macaw and other rare #birds. They face many threats to their survival including forest destruction for meat, palm oil, soy and gold. Join the movement to #BoycottPalmOil #BoycottGold and #Boycott4Wildlife. Together we can empower people we know to make conscious supermarket decisions for wildlife survival.

26.2.2025 14:15Comment on Borneo Bay Cat Catopuma badia by 13 Wild Cat Species That Are Smaller Than House CatsA joint investigation by Malaysiakini and Pulitzer Center’s Rainforest Investigations Network (RIN) reveals alarming deforestation in Pahang, #Malaysia, caused by one of the country’s largest #palmoil plantations. The plantation threatens endangered species like #tigers and pollutes local water supplies. It has been described as “the worst-managed oil palm plantation in Malaysia.” Palm oil yields are low, while the #deforestation is chaotic, leaving the land barren and overrun with #elephants. The report highlights links between developers and political or royal ownership and rampant corruption and strongly pushes for more transparency, improved government oversight and regulatory enforcement. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

This critically endangered monotreme is distinguished by its unique feeding technique and smaller size compared to other long-beaked echidnas. Despite not being recorded by scientists since 1961, a recent expedition led to its rediscovery in 2023, offering renewed hope for the species. Facing threats from hunting and habitat degradation, we must protect this elusive creature by supporting sustainable practices and community-led conservation. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Clear and severe failures in #ecolabel effectiveness were awarded to Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) which certifies palm oil as "sustainable" and Marine Stewardship Council which certifies seafood as "sustainable". Consumers are increasingly sceptical, with 62% expressing concerns that these labels are a form of #greenwashing. Greenpeace is calling for stricter regulations and transparency in the use of terms like “sustainable” or “climate-friendly” to prevent misleading environmental claims. #Greenwashing #ConsumerRights #Transparency.

Also known as the Ma’s night monkey or the Peruvian red-necked owl monkey, this nocturnal primate is named in honour of Dr. Nancy Shui-Fong Ma, who played a significant role in their genetic research. They are endemic to Brazil, Peru, and parts of Colombia, these monkeys are an essential part of their ecosystem. They now face direct threats from expansion for palm oil, soy and meat deforestation and are wild captured for scientific research - much of primate research is not even relevant to human health.

28.1.2025 12:02Comment on Maned Wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus by Palm Oil DetectivesThe Maned Wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus is a captivating creature known for their "foxes on stilts" appearance and distinctive cannabis-like urine odour. Their long legs allow them to peer over the tall grass in their South American grassland habitat. Solitary and enigmatic, they communicate through "roar-barks" while marking territory with their unique scent. Despite their fascinating quirks, this species faces significant threats. Deforestation due to palm oil, meat and soy agriculture, gold mining, and commodity crop plantations (like palm oil and soy) has fragmented their habitat, leaving them vulnerable to road mortality, disease transmission from domestic dogs, and poaching. These threats, coupled with habitat destruction, endanger their future. You can make a difference by fighting for their survival every time you shop.

28.12.2024 14:34Visayan Broadbill Sarcophanops samarensisOn Tuesday, April 30, 2024, a shocking and disgraceful incident occurred in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). During a meeting of shareholders from Plantations et Huileries du Congo (PHC), environmental rights defenders were arrested, and an environmental journalist was kidnapped after displaying banners denouncing PHC’s mistreatment of local communities. PHC, formerly known as Feronia, is a multinational company that operates large palm oil plantations in the DRC.
17.12.2024 15:21Palm Oil Protesters Silenced and Arrested in CongoThis article highlights the significant role that banks and investors play in fuelling a global biodiversity crisis - particularly in relation to palm oil, meat, soy and timber deforestation. By financially supporting corporations that exploit natural resources, banks and investment firms are bankrolling palm oil and meat production ecocide. These activities contribute to the destruction of rainforests, leading to massive losses in biodiversity and impacting wildlife habitats. Key commodities like palm oil and beef are primary drivers of deforestation and environmental degradation.

30.11.2024 15:00Large herbivores such as elephants contribute to tree diversityDeforestation in Indonesia is worsening the impact of severe weather events such as floods and landslides, as seen in West Sumatra in March 2024. Environmental groups cite deforestation and environmental degradation as key factors in intensifying natural disasters. Indonesia’s rainforests, crucial for biodiversity and indigenous livelihoods, have been heavily logged for palm oil, paper, and mining. Despite government efforts to slow deforestation, including a palm oil permit freeze, illegal logging and large-scale developments continue to threaten forest areas. Experts warn that more equable land planning is needed to mitigate future disasters. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Once exploited as 'dancing bears' by the Kalandar tribe, this phase of history is thankfully now over. They now roam across tropical forests and savannahs while snuffling through termite mounds and sucking up ants and honey. Tragically, these bears face severe threats from palm oil deforestation, human-wildlife conflict, and illegal poaching. You can fight for their survival by saying no to palm oil.

Here are seven practical ways to protect biodiversity #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife
16.11.2024 15:25Seven practical ways to stop a species wipeoutFor decades, the palm oil industry, backed by the RSPO, has misled consumers with the false promise of "sustainable" palm oil. Behind this green façade lies a brutal reality of deforestation, human rights abuses, and the destruction of endangered species’ habitats. Dozens of investigations from many different industry watchdogs have exposes the RSPO's certification as a sham, enabling continued environmental devastation under the guise of sustainability. However it's not only the palm oil industry that is an environmental liability, gold mining and meat deforestation also deserves to be strongly condemned for its ongoing ecocide. Read on to discover the examples of greenwashing deception from these industries, so that you don’t fall for their corporate greenwashing.

9.11.2024 15:37Nicobar Long-Tailed Macaque Macaca fascicularis umbrosaWhen Indonesian prosecutors went after the leader of an illegal wildlife syndicate operating near the Malacca Strait, they relied on the country’s then relatively new 2019 Quarantine Act to seek a prison sentence. After being connected to the illegal smuggling of four lion cubs, a leopard, and 58 species of Indian Star tortoises from Malaysia to Indonesia, Irawan Shia received a four-year prison sentence and fine of IDR 1 billion (USD$65,468). If the fine is not paid, the replacement is three months imprisonment. The sentence was the biggest ever handed out, but falls far short of what it could have been had Indonesia brought its laws in line with global conventions.
