John,

SOS: Deforestation is once again SURGING in the orangutan capital of the world thanks to mega-brands like P&G and Nestlé’s insatiable need for palm oil.

2024 smashed recent records with vast amounts of Indonesia’s precious forest lost, more than half of which was critical habitat for endangered orangutans, tigers, and elephants.

But we have a plan to save them!

In just a few weeks, major companies like P&G, Nestlé, Mars, and Mondelēz will come together for a huge brand summit. It’s their big moment to unveil splashy new PR campaigns.

With all of us chipping in, our crack team of campaigners could expose these brands at this critical moment with smart tactics like brand-damaging ads, splashing execs’ faces all over the media, and turn the spotlight on the world’s biggest brands like never before.

But to compete with their well-funded, slick marketing machines, it’s going to take all of us giving just a little bit so we can fight to protect our natural world from corporate greed.

Can you chip in to save the orangutans before it’s too late?

For decades, profit-hungry companies have been hacking away and burning forests — all so the likes of Mondelēz and Nestlé can put palm oil in snacks and detergents.

Massive public pressure, including from the Ekō community, forced many companies to do better in recent years. But now, that progress is slipping backwards, and critically endangered orangutans are at risk of disappearing altogether.

We have to do something — and fast.

Here’s the plan: all the biggest consumer-facing companies will come together for a massive, once-a-year summit in just a few weeks. It’s a huge PR opportunity and brands like P&G and Nestlé spare no cost to put on a big show….so we’re going to turn the spotlight on them right when it matters the most.

Our brilliant team of campaigners are ready to make such a stir that the big story coming out of the summit is deforestation – then we’ll keep up the pressure beyond this meeting to FORCE brands to commit to adopt and enforce stronger standards to protect forests.

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 on corporate giants like these.

Can you chip in now to save the orangutans?

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet.

Together we’ve convinced McDonald’s, Starbucks, and PepsiCo to commit to no-deforestation palm oil policies – and now it’s more important than ever that we quickly scale up our work. Let’s do it, together.
