THE FACTS

• Indonesia has the second highest rate of deforestation in the world.
• Over 300 football fields of rainforest are destroyed every hour in South East Asia.
• Clearing forest for palm oil plantations is the leading cause of deforestation.
• Over 50 Orangutans a week die because of this devastation.
• There are now less than 500 Sumatran tigers and 3000 Sumatran Elephants left in the wild.
• Palm oil is contained in 40% of products in Australian supermarkets.
• It is not mandatory to label palm oil in Australia.
• There is an alternative. Companies can source Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) which is planted on already degraded land or grassland NOT rainforest.
• We must take action now before it's too late. Extinction is forever.
