Street artists and volunteers from all over the world — from Melbourne to Taipei, Vienna, Oakland and LA — have created extravagant public murals to highlight the Birds of Paradise, whose survival is under great threat from the palm oil industry.
Earlier this month, Greenpeace introduced the world to Rang-tan, a 90-second film which shows the direct link between palm oil destruction in the forests of Indonesia and our shopping carts. Since its release, Rang-tan has been viewed over 2.5 million times, capturing the hearts of so many.
For too long big brands and the palm oil companies they buy from have been getting away with murder — you could say quite literally. And for too long our response to orangutans has been ‘ohhh, the poor thing’ as we’re shown photographs of them orphaned, thin and at death’s door. But change is possible — we can make it so.
