Leigh & Westcliff times Orangutan Campaign Sandra Dean July 2009

My local fortnightly newspaper, The Leigh & Westcliff Times, published my story on 30th June 2009. 

Following my last publication locally, I was really pleased, as it highlights the palm oil situation that is harming the rainforests of Borneo & Sumatra and killing the Orangutans.  We must act soon, and force the Supermarkets & manufacturers to swap from unsustainable to sustainable palm oil.  The production of unsustainable palm oil is damaging our environment, and harming the people and wildlife of Borneo & Sumatra – Continue reading My Orangutan Campaign in the Leigh Times – July 2009

World Land Trust – supporting the Orangutan & others

The World Land Trust (WLT) is an international conservation organisation that takes direct action to save rainforest and other wildlife habitats. How? By providing funds for partner organisations, so that they can purchase land and establish permanent wildlife reserves.

Over 375,000 acres of wildlife habitats have been saved thanks to individual and corporate supporters of the World Land Trust, including tropical and sub-tropical forests, coastal steppe and wetlands.
Why Save Acres with the World Land Trust? Continue reading World Land Trust – supporting the Orangutan & others

How much do you know about palm oil and how it is killing the orangutans?  We are not looking for a boycott of palm oil useage – just a campaign to stop the use of ‘unsustainable palm oil’ for products in our supermarkets and to make biofuels.  Sustainable oil plantations are out there and are accessible, so lets do something about it!

Whilst researching the Palm oil situation in Borneo and Sumatra and the problems it is causing to the Orangutans, wildlife and people of those areas, I also learnt the other big lesson ‘We are killing our environment and the ecosystem of the rainforests’.  Over the next few weeks, I will be updating this website to show the plight of the Orangutans decline and the reasons for this.  Continue reading My Pledge to help Orangutans
