Palm Oil Protest

Palm Oil Protest

Support the end of all forest conversion to oil palm

Palm oil is one of the world’s most popular vegetable oils. It is used in thousands of products, from margarine and bread to lipstick and soap, and is consumed by over a billion people across the world.
Ninety per cent of the world’s palm-oil exports come from the oil-palm plantations of Malaysia and Indonesia. Most of these plantations are on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. The very lowland forest that the oil-palm industry favours for conversion is the only remaining habitat of the orangutan.

“Palm-oil production is linked to species extinction, human rights abuse and worker exploitation. But there is not a single British supermarket that can guarantee that its products aren’t fuelling the destruction. Most haven’t even worked out where the palm oil in their products comes from.”
