Pristine Amazon rainforest destroyed for hamburgers

          
                        EXPOSED: French supermarket giant Casino is sourcing beef from illegal cattle ranches in Brazil linked to devastating Amazon deforestation and dispossession of Indigenous land.

                        Pristine Amazon rainforest shouldn't be destroyed for hamburgers. Tell Casino: stop selling Amazon-destroying beef!

            New research shows more than half a million hectares of pristine Amazon rainforest has been chopped down to make way for industrial cattle ranches in Brazil. And French supermarket giant Casino is buying this meat.

            Indigenous Forest Defenders are taking Casino to court and demanding reparations for human rights violations and environmental damage, but the trial doesn’t start till next year.

            The Amazon rainforest and Indigenous communities can’t wait that long for the deforestation to stop. That’s where we come in. If we can create a massive public outcry, and the risk of consumer backlash and falling sales, Casino will have no choice but to act now.

            Will you sign the petition? Tell Casino to stop profiting from Amazon-destroying beef!

            New supply chain research has been able to link cattle raised on the illegally deforested land directly to slaughterhouses run by the notorious JBS, which supplies beef to the Casino Group.

            JBS is known for stealing Indigenous land, bribery, forced labour allegations and also illegally destroying swathes of Amazon rainforest. We can’t let these massive corporations get away with this.

            Demand Casino stop selling beef that’s come from illegally deforested Amazon.

            When we come together and take action we have real impact. Like when we got Quebec's public pension fund manager to stop investing in JBS after we exposed its role in destroying the Amazon rainforest. Let’s do it again and stop Casino from profiting from Amazon deforestation.

            Thanks for all that you do,
