We teamed up with @Justseeds to share these beautiful works of art in solidarity with the Indigenous Batak peoples of North Sumatra, Indonesia, whose sacred forests are currently being threatened by predatory agribusiness. RT this thread in solidarity!

For the Indigenous Batak Peoples of North Sumatra, land is their identity. If they lose their land and their forests, they lose a part of themselves.

Art: Saiyare Refaei
We’ve been following and supporting the Pargamanan-Bintang Maria community in the fight for their forests. They have faced criminalization by local law enforcement and violence from expanding pulp and paper business TPL. But that hasn’t stopped them.

Art: Fernando Marti
Meanwhile, @ProcterGamble (maker of @tide and @Pantene) is claiming that their #palmoil supply chain has nothing to do with TPL, and presents itself as a “sustainability leader” – but we know it’s all a hoax. P&G is complicit in forest destruction.

Art: Monica Trinidad
Share these artworks to show @ProcterGamble that we won’t tolerate human rights abuses in their supply chain! The Indigenous Batak peoples must be respected.

It’s been a lot of heavy news lately, so we’re taking a breather to celebrate #WorldOrangutanDay! In Malay, “orangutan” means “forest people.” While they’re actually primates not people, they are very similar to us, sharing 97% of our DNA!! (1/4) Image
The Sumatran Orangutan is an arboreal creature, which means it lives, eats, & sleeps almost exclusively in the tree tops of the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia - this is part of the reason it’s so important to #KeepForestsStanding 🌳(2/4)
Of the 14,000 Sumatran Orangutans left in the world, 85% live in the Leuser Ecosystem of Indonesia, which is constantly under threat by greedy corporations looking to chop down the habitat for palm oil plantations, pulp & paper, or wooden furniture. (3/4)
