There should be a jungle here<\/p><\/div>\n
Where once there was a thick, green rainforest teeming with life, now is desolation. Where orangutans used to swing and birds used to sing, now is silent. Where people used to be able to depend on the forest for food and medicine to live, now there is nothing.<\/p>\n
Our precious rainforests are being destroyed to make way for palm oil plantations, endangering species and exploiting our people.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why I\u2019m here. Right now, me and five other activists are on board a massive shipment of dirty palm oil in the Atlantic Ocean, which is likely headed for products on European supermarket shelves. Wilmar<\/a>, who owns this shipment, is the largest and dirtiest palm oil trader in the world.<\/p>\n Met by crew members of the Stolt Tenacity, carrying tonnes of dirty pam oil to Europe<\/p><\/div>\n Am I scared? No.<\/p>\n This is risky, and\u00a0scaling the side of the ship was tough, but not taking action is riskier for our planet. And I can\u2019t be quiet anymore.<\/p>\n People in Indonesia are sick and tired. We are still recovering from the brutal 2015 fires that choked thousands of people in our cities and displaced communities in our forests. Wilmar has been turning its back on deforestation and human rights abuses for too long.<\/p>\n This ship is bringing palm oil from forest destruction into people\u2019s homes. We have lost so much rainforest already, but this is our chance to stop the next bulldozers before they get started.<\/p>\n Much loved household brands like Oreo, promised their customers they\u2019d only use clean palm oil. But they haven\u2019t kept that promise<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Action](\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2018\/11\/1329f250-gp0stsooe_web_size.jpg\")
