Orang-utans swing into action to stop Dove destroying rainforests for palm oil
As part of our campaign to protect the rainforests of Indonesia from the expansion of the palm oil industry, Greenpeace volunteers dressed as orang-utans have climbed over the London HQ of the company behind Dove, which uses palm oil as one of its ingredients.
Our latest research shows that Unilever, the makers of Dove, is buying palm oil from companies that are destroying valuable rainforest and peatland areas, which is bad news not only for the millions of people who depend on them for their way of life and endangered species such as the orang-utan, but also for the global climate.
