I just posted a letter of concern the president of the Indonesian republic regarding the fate of a remaining peat-swamp and hotspot of biodiversity on Sumatra.
See it as number 973 in the Asian forum.

For those of you working with Care 2 (petition site) they now offer a link for supporting this issue, too:

Thanks Peter,

I did sign there too – just to make sure 🙂

I don’t know whether activities like these will actually achieve changes for the better but next to avoiding palm oil products etc and donating to environmentalist organisations, it seems to be the least I can do. So I am always thankful for hints and links like this one in addition to the newsletters to sign up to.

All the best,
Gregor 🙂

“Rainforest Rescue”asks for help of all who are concerned about what they call “the palm oil mafia”:

Dear friends of the rainforest,
one thousand people on the Indonesian island of Borneo have lost their forest. It was illegally cleared by the corporate group IOI that supplies Nestlé, Unilever and Neste Oil with palm oil. All three companies publicly pride themselves for their so-called “sustainability”.
Our partner Nordin, head of the organization Save Our Borneo (SOB), has collected plenty of watertight evidence against the criminals. He is preparing to file a case and the local government is backing him.
However, to prevent more damage elsewhere, the palm oil Mafia’s profit stream has to be cut off. This is where Nordin needs our support.
Please call on Nestlé, Unilever and Neste Oil to cancel their business relationship with IOI.

Many thanks and best regards
