Palm oil production is the single biggest threat to South East Asian rainforests.
Palm oil is found in over 40% of the food products on our shelves.
Palm oil isn’t even labeled in Australia. The average Australian consumes 10kg of Palm Oil every year.
Once palm oil is labelled, consumers can actually drive a market for proper certified sustainable palm oil because they can demand it of manufacturers.

Tell U.S. malls to leave sugar gliders alone! »

Because of the kiosks’ locations in malls and the species’ cute appearance, shoppers purchase the animals on impulse like toys, oblivious to their special, long-term needs.

Sugar gliders’ natural diet consists of native insects, wattle gum and eucalyptus sap, which U.S. shoppers rarely have access to. Most U.S. vets also have no resources to provide sugar gliders with health.

Sugar gliders deserve to live in their native habitat, where they can glide, play with their family members and search for food. Shoppers do not need these pets and typically grow bored with them shortly after purchase.

Please sign the petition to convince U.S. Congress to outlaw the sale of sugar gliders at malls. »

Africa’s western black rhino is now officially extinct according the latest review of animals and plants by the world’s largest conservation network.

The subspecies of the black rhino — which is classified as “critically endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species — was last seen in western Africa in 2006.

The IUCN warns that other rhinos could follow saying Africa’s northern white rhino is “teetering on the brink of extinction” while Asia’s Javan rhino is “making its last stand” due to continued poaching and lack of conservation.

‘Lack of conservation’ includes ‘lack of habitat’ … due to thousands of hectares every day being replaced with Palm Oil Plantations for you and me, and by eating foods that use palm oil as an ingredient, Western consumers are directly fueling the destruction of orangutan habitat and sensitive ecosystems.

If the current rate of habitat decline continues, the Sumatran orangutan may become the first of the great apes living today to go extinct in the wild. A new UNEP/GRASP report warns that local populations in parts of Sumatra could disappear as early as 2015.

Educate yourself NOW and do your best to STOP your direct funding of this habitat destruction and extinction of the Orangutans, Asian Rhino, Asian Elephant & Asian Tiger…

Will You Still Fear Them When They’re Gone?

Hi everyone
Sea Shepherd Gold Coast just received an inspiring e-mail from Madison Stewart, a 17 year old who has devoted her life to shark conservation. Madi has been working with sharks since she was twelve years old- scuba diving and free diving- plus she started underwater filming at the age of fourteen. Madi has been working on a very important project for some time now and needs your help. She is seeking as many people as possible to write a submission to the Sustainable Fisheries, before October 21st. Please see the following e-mail…

Why do orangutans need your help?

A crisis exists for orangutans. Never before has its very existence been threatened so severely. Economic crisis combined with natural disasters and human abuse of the forest are pushing one of humankind’s closest cousins to extinction. Orangutans have lost approximately 80% of their habitat in the last 20 years, and an estimated one-third of the wild population died during the fires of 1997-98…

Evidence condemning the live export trade continues to mount as Animals Australia releases footage from a recent live export investigation in Turkey.

Ohio County, Indiana, is home to an extraordinarily cruel event called “Snapperfest”—next scheduled for this Saturday, August 20! Every year at the Campshore Campground, wild-caught snapping turtles endure terrible violence at the hands of participants. The frightened animals are grabbed by their tails and repeatedly slammed to the ground. Their heads are yanked from their shells, and they are then swung around until “contestants” are able to wrap their fists around the animals’ necks.

STOP THIS EVENT!

PETA, without success, appealed to the compassion of the Ohio County commissioners. Now it’s your turn. Please contact the commissioners and the campground and politely ask that they do the right thing and replace this cruel event. And please spread this alert far and wide.

A member of a review panel set up to advise the government, Hisa Anan, has called for a halt to the controversial hunt.

“Research whaling has been conducted for more than 20 years now,” Ms Anan told the ABC in Tokyo.

“I think they’ve gathered enough scientific data and, even if they want more, they can conduct non-lethal research.”

She said she did not believe Sea Shepherd activists would stop activities that exposed the whaling fleet crews to danger, and Japan should end the program.

A review of the loss-making program was sparked by last summer’s disastrous season, when the whaling fleet was forced out of the Southern Ocean by Sea Shepherd harassment.

Ms Anan’s minority view came in a report that also raised concerns over financial problems of the hunt.

The committee’s majority want to continue, but face the prospect of sending the whalers south against a strengthened Sea Shepherd fleet.

The group’s leader, Paul Watson, told Fairfax online all three of the group’s ships would be positioned in Sydney and Fremantle ready to return in October.

“We are also looking for a fourth ship,” Mr Watson said. “If they return we will be ready to engage them again.”

Sea Shepherd’s flagship Steve Irwin has been freed from arrest in the Shetland Islands, where it was held before a £520,000 ($818,000) bond was posted over a dispute arising from the group’s campaign against Mediterranean bluefin tuna fishing.
