Please, please sign this protest action!!
The EU Commission is trying to redefine palm oil plantations as "forests" and claim "sustainability" for use as biofuels.
This could be the nail in the coffin for orangutans, as well as many other endangered species, and their rainforest homes.
If this plan goes through, it will put the entire planet at risk as widespread rainforest destruction is greatly contributing to the climate crisis.
It'll only take a minute... please sign it...and pass it along.
