And it's true. But: oilseed rape and sunflowers are grown in more temperate climate zones, not in tropical rainforests, which are home to around 80% of all animal and ...

In addition, palm oil plantations accelerate climate change, since primary rainforests absorb more CO2 than they release and these plantations emit more CO2 than absorb. So a change in consumer behavior in the Global North without palm oil (it worked in the past)

@mattp_eti @MetPoliceEvents @metpoliceuk You will notice that our laws are extremely biased in favour of corporations and the Billionaire Class and against the best interests of the mass of society.

Happy #CloudedLeopardDay! #Sunda #cloudedleopards in #Sumatra #Borneo are declining from #palmoil and #timber #deforestation & illegal #poaching The Red List says there are 3,700-5,580 individuals alive (2020). Help them #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife palmoildetectives.com/2021/03/08/the…

Clouded #leopards get their name for their remarkable "clouds" on their coats. Their large paws make them agile climbers and hunters. Their main threat is #palmoil #deforestation. #CloudedLeopardDay2022 Help them and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife palmoildetectives.com/2021/02/09/bra…
Happy #WorldSnakeDay. #Snakes have an unfair reputation as being poisonous/ aggressive. Our fear of snakes may come from Christianity. Satan took the form of a snake tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden. Yet snakes aren't bad at all! They're critical to ecosystems around the world
#Snakes evolved 130 million years ago in the Cretaceous period from a common ancestor that they share with #birds and other #reptiles. They have cloacal spurs or vestigal limbs, which shows their shared ancestry with limbed reptiles. #WorldSnakeDay 🐍🐍🐍
#Snakes see on the infrared spectrum using heat receptors called pit organs making them epic predators with natural night vision goggles to see prey. Snakes have a detachable jaw which can swallow food whole that is much larger than its own body weight. #WorldSnakeDay 🐍💚

@rwritextinction You need to look deeper into this. In the past few days @ConvocaPe @pulitzercenter published a joint global investigation into the @RSPOtweets it is absolutely NOT effective in stopping #deforestation or handling #humanrights complaints - it fails. pulitzercenter.org/stories/rspo-o…
@rwritextinction @ConvocaPe @pulitzercenter @RSPOtweets A June report by @GRAIN_org @FOEInt @bmfonds @Global_Witness and many other NGOs throughout the world strongly recommended the @EU_Commission DOES NOT use certification as a protective mechanism in the #EU anti-deforestation regulation - it does not work. en.milieudefensie.nl/news/10-reason…

This is the truth of palm oil production: indigenous people deprived of their land and rainforest destroyed. Buy products which use alternative oils. #BoycottPalmOil
Palm oil firms depriving tribes of millions of dollars bbc.co.uk/news/world-615…
Palm oil firms depriving tribes of millions of dollars bbc.co.uk/news/world-615…
Palm oil producers responsible for these abuses supply well known brands like Kellogg’s, Johnson & Johnson and Mondalez. RSPO designation is no guarantee of responsibly and sustainably produced palm oil. #BoycottPalmOil
Putin’s war in Ukraine will increase pressure on companies to use palm oil as Ukraine’s ability to produce sunflower oil is affected. Reason to be extra vigilant in the products we buy. #BoycottPalmOil
Palm oil corporations, whose products are found in so many of our foods, are gaslighting us & greenwashing a horrifically exploitative & damaging industry. They are responsible for deforestation and are driving many species to extinction.

Here's a long thread with evidence about why the @RSPOtweets has failed to make any difference with key sustainability promises incl. stopping #deforestation #indigenous #landgrabbing #ecocide #slavery #humanrights abuses for supermarket brands. 1/7 palmoildetectives.com/2021/08/23/why…
