Paijo the orangutan, orphaned by palm oil trade

[Catherine]

Paijo is a very tiny orphaned orangutan whose mother was killed because of the palm oil trade.  International Animal rescue has taken him in and a great many others. 
As long as there are unsustainable palm oil fields there will be more and more orphaned orangutans until there are no more orangutans left alive to be orphaned.

We hold the future of a whole species in out hands. If we refuse to buy products that use palm oil then there will be no market for it. We can contact companies and encourage them to use only ethically sourced oils. We can support groups that are helping to save the orangutans.

I know the pictures of baby orangutans clinging to teddy bears are just so cute, but I will happily never see another cute baby orangutan picture if it means they are all with their mothers living the lives they were meant to live.
