Another palm oil project in Cameroon

We all know the problem about palm oil's exploitation, which destroys palm trees- home of differents species like chimpanzees and elephants. It has already destroyd the house of many orangutans in Borneo.

Furthermore, palm oil is not very healthy. Just picture a big jar of Nutella left on the sun: the mouth-watering oil on the top is palm oil. Is it worth the extinction of beautiful species?


Greenpeace's new goal is to stop the deforestation of Cameroon rainforest, planned by an american company, Herakles Farms. The company wants to tear down the rainforest for its palm oil project, threatening species living there but also villagers.

So if you feel concern, you can send an email to the CEO of Herakles Farms (the email is pre-written by Greenpeace, but you can of course add your personnal touch to it): just click on this link!

If you want to avoid palm oil, take into account that it is founded in many everyday life products like baked goods, biscuits, cosmetics, body products like moisturisers and cleaning agents.


So next time you hesitate to buy a Nutella jar, think about him:


...and choose something healthier.
