Keep Orang-utans out of your soup

Did you realise that every time we wash our hands with soap, spread a slice of bread with margarine, munch a couple of biscuits, apply lipstick or light a candle, we could be endangering the future of the orang-utan?

These products contain palm oil, a product used extensively in the food industry because it does not raise blood cholesterol, and is stable when heated. It also contains 15 times more health-giving carotenoids than carrots.

83% of palm oil production and 89% of exports come from the home of the orang-utan.
The demand for palm oil is so great that vast areas of the tropical rainforest are being cut down to make way for new palm oil plantations.
Over 90% of the orang-utan�s habitat has been destroyed.
It is estimated that at present around 5000 orang-utans die each year as a result of deforestation.

What can we do to help?
We can do our bit by insisting that those products we buy are properly labelled so that we can choose to avoid those which use palm oil from sensitive areas.
