*[Enwl-eng] Dove soap

[ENWL]

                        Unilever is driving orangutans to the brink of 
extinction. The multinational’s greed for cheap palm oil is directly 
responsible for burning down the rainforests where orangutans live.

                        Can you chip in $2 to save the orangutans and expose 
Unilever’s greed?

            Fires are raging in Indonesia, burning forests to the ground to 
make way for palm oil plantations. As a result, critically endangered 
orangutans are on the brink of extinction.

            Unilever buys more than 1 million tonnes of palm oil each year, 
and uses it in everything from Dove soap to Knorr soup. The corporate giant 
has promised to source its palm oil sustainably by 2020 -- but has failed to 
live up to this promise.

            So far, the forest fires aren’t a big news story yet. We can 
change that.

            We need to hire a video squad on the ground in Indonesia to 
capture footage of the forest fires -- armed with professional filming 
equipment and drones that can withstand the heat. Once we have the footage, 
we can leak it to journalists -- creating a public outcry that will link 
Unilever to the forest fires and force it to clear up its act.

            These forest fires are no accident -- the burning is a 
deliberate act.

            Palm oil trees are planted in monocultures, drenched in toxic 
pesticides. The land quickly becomes infertile, and then new forests have to 
be cleared so palm oil producers can keep reaping in a profit. These are 
ancient forests that we’ll never get back.

            The Covid crisis means that journalists are finding it harder to 
travel to remote locations and report on the forest fires and the illegal 
slash and burn practices that palm oil producers are using. That’s why it’s 
so important we turn a spotlight onto this crisis.

            You've got an incredible track record of winning against palm 
oil offenders. Since 2014 we've forced companies like McDonald’s, Dunkin’ 
Donuts, and Starbucks to commit no-deforestation palm oil policies.

            Together, we can clean up the palm oil industry and force 
Unilever to cut deforestation from its supply chains. This is the only way 
we can save these ancient forests and the homes of the last orangutans.

            Will you join us now and chip in to power-up an emergency 
campaign to save the orangutans?
