Greenpeace are campaigning to preserve the Indonesia rainforests, habitat to endangered orang-utans and home to 50 million people. These forests are giving destroyed faster than any other in the world. The main reason? The beauty industry’s demand for palm oil which is used in a huge variety of everyday products from soap to chocolate.

Greenpeace have succeeded in obtaining support from the largest buyer of palm oil in the world, Unilever, in their campaign to stop more forest and peat marshes being destroyed.

Greenpeace relies entirely on the support of individuals and they need your donations so they can carry on their work to save the Indonesian rainforests. You can donate money by either a one off payment or by a regular direct debit. This is what your money can do:

£3 a month – could help the build on their success with Unilever
£5 a month – help Greenpeace get other palm oil buyers to support them
£10 a month – help them investigate palm oil growers

To highlight their cause last year, Greenpeace activists scaled a Unilever dressed as orangutans!
