Victory: Nestlé gives orang-utans a break | Greenpeace Australia Pacific

Over 23,000 Australians recently contacted global food and beverage giant, Nestlé, asking them to stop using palm oil linked to rainforest destruction.

Greenpeace reports success of Australia's actions.May 2010 Nestlé announced it would stop using all products that come from rainforest destruction. The move follows a two-month Greenpeace campaign that exposed Nestlé’s use of palm oil in products like KitKat. The expansion of palm oil and pulp plantations is driving the destruction of Indonesia’s rainforests and peatlands, and pushing orang-utans to the brink of extinction.

Thousands of Australians joined people around the world in asking Nestlé to stop buying palm oil from suppliers that destroy rainforests.
