Remenicent out of a scene from the movie Planet of the Apes, Greenpeace stepped up their campaign against Nestle’s use of palm oil in their chocolate bars like Kit Kats. Essentially Greenpeace did what they do best, and crashed the shareholder meeting with a mass of Orangutangs!
Quite effective, don’t you think? Nestle have since stopped directly using palm oil sourced from Indonesian supplier Sinar Mas, but are now indirectly buying it via other multi nationals.
Even though Nestle have pledged to only buy sustainable sourced palm oil by 2015, it will be too late for the majority of the Orangutangs and their habitat, with deforestation expected to continue and ape populations declining rapidly.
I hope Greenpeace and others who care about this species and other affected by deforestation continue to campaign to stop the rot!
