Grizzled Tree Kangaroo Dendrolagus inustus
Where the forest rises steeply from the rivers and the mist hangs low over the green spires of the Foja Mountains and the Torricelli Range, the Grizzled Tree Kangaroo moves like a living memory. The Grizzled Tree Kangaroo Dendrolagus inustus and their ash-grey coats and quiet agile movements, are the ghostly figures of New Guinea’s dwindling rainforests. Listed as Vulnerable on the Red List, these rare tree kangaroos now stand at the edge of survival. Hunting dogs track their scent; chainsaws fell their towering homes. Palm oil is rapidly obliterating their forest home. Without urgent action, these shy, elusive creatures will vanish into the mist forever. Boycott palm oil and go #vegan for them. Protect their ancient world. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
Blue-eyed Cockatoo Cacatua ophthalmica
The Blue-eyed Cockatoo is a striking and charismatic bird, known for their vivid blue eye rings and expressive crests. These cockatoos depend on mature forests for nesting and food but face significant threats, including habitat destruction caused by out-of-control palm oil plantations, illegal hunting, and the illegal pet trade. Conservation efforts are critical to ensure the survival of this remarkable species. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Spectacled Flying Fox Pteropus conspicillatus
The Spectacled Flying Fox (Pteropus conspicillatus) is a large, highly mobile fruit #bat native to the tropical rainforests of Australia’s Wet Tropics and Papua New Guinea’s offshore islands including Woodlark Island, Alcester Island, Kiriwina, and Halmahera. Named for the distinctive pale rings around their eyes, they play a crucial role in pollination and seed dispersal across vast forested landscapes. However, their survival is under severe threat due to rampant #palmoil #deforestation in #Papua, along with #climatechange-induced extreme heat events, and human-wildlife conflict. These bats have suffered catastrophic population declines in recent years, underscoring the urgent need for conservation action. In February 2019 the Australian government upgraded their threatened status from vulnerable to endangered, after almost a third of the bat population died in a severe heatwave in Queensland in late 2018. Take action and resist climate change and deforestation-driven #extinction every time you shop—#BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife.
Ifola Dendrolagus notatus
The Ifola, a rare and little-known tree kangaroo, inhabits the tropical montane forests of the Fakfak Mountains in Papua New Guinea and Indonesian-occupied West Papua. First identified as a distinct species in 1993, this remarkable marsupial is part of the genus Dendrolagus, known for their arboreal lifestyle. With their restricted range and vulnerability to habitat loss, Ifola are at significant risk due to palm oil deforestation, gold mining, and other human activities encroaching on their high-altitude homes. Their survival is tied to the preservation of the rich, biodiverse forests they call home. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
Woodlark Cuscus Phalanger lullulae
The Woodlark #Cuscus is a nocturnal marsupial found nowhere else but the forests of Woodlark, Madau, and Alcester islands. By day, the Woodlark Cuscus curls into tree hollows or buries themselves in tangles of epiphytes; by night, they move silently through the canopy, their marbled fur blending with the shifting shadows. The Woodlark Cuscus faces imminent extinction as palm oil plantations, logging, and gold mining threaten to erase the last forests of their island home. With all individual cuscuses known from less than 1,300 km² and new clearances looming, the Woodlark Cuscus’s world is shrinking fast. Stand with indigenous Melanesian sovereignty and safeguard these islands. Use your wallet as a weapon and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife.

Black Crested Gibbon Nomascus concolor
The Black-Crested Gibbon of the genus Nomascus is a truly enchanting primate, renowned for their melodic morning duets that echo through the forests of southern China, Vietnam, and Laos. What makes these calls even more remarkable is their regional variation—these gibbons sing with distinct “accents,” unique to their local populations. These complex songs not only strengthen bonds between mates but also serve as territorial markers, ensuring harmony within their fragmented forest homes.
Despite their beauty and ecological importance, Black-Crested Gibbons are at risk of extinction. Habitat destruction for agriculture, and logging, coupled with hunting for the bushmeat trade and the illegal pet trade, is rapidly shrinking their population. Protecting their future is vital for the health of their ecosystems. Take action now: Boycott the illegal wildlife trade, be #vegan and #Boycott4Wildlife.

Arfak Ringtail Pseudochirulus schlegeli
The Arfak Ringtail Pseudochirulus schlegeli is a wide-eyed and bushy tailed #possum living in the remote Arfak Mountains and cloud forests of #WestPapua. Although little is known of these tree-dwelling #marsupials, much can be gleaned from related #mammals in Australasia. These cryptic and fluffy arboreal beauties are found in the mossy, cloud-wrapped forests of the Vogelkop Peninsula’s Arfak Mountains. Listed as #Vulnerable, the species faces mounting pressure from #deforestation for #palmoil and #timber and #hunting by local communities. With fewer than five known locations and less than 20,000 km² of suitable habitat, this highland #possum could disappear quietly without urgent action. Protect #indigenous forests, say no to palm oil, and stand up against wildlife exploitation #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife #Vegan
Bear Cuscus Ailurops ursinus
The Bear Cuscus also known as the Sulawesi bear cuscus is an unusual and charming marsupial, named for their thick, dark, bear-like fur. Found only on the island of Sulawesi and nearby islands, this slow-moving, arboreal creature spends much of their day resting in the tropical rainforests of Indonesia. The Sulawesi bear cuscus uses their elongated claws and prehensile tail to navigate the canopy, feeding on a diet of leaves, flowers, and unripe fruit. Sadly, palm oil deforestation and hunting pose serious threats to this species, resulting in a significant decline in their population. Protecting the Sulawesi bear cuscus is essential to preserving the biodiversity of Indonesia’s rainforests. Say no to palm oil and industrial agriculture every time you shop, and use the hashtags #BoycottPalmOil and #Boycott4Wildlife on social media to vocally oppose the greenwashing of “sustainable” palm oil.
