Marsh Deer Blastocerus dichotomus
The Marsh deer are South America’s largest deer species, uniquely adapted to wetland life with their web-like hooves and preference for aquatic plants. They are prey animals for jaguars and pumas.
These majestic creatures, once widespread, are now confined to isolated pockets. Their main threat is habitat loss and fragmentation due to palm oil, soy and meat deforestation along with hydroelectric dams and gold mining.
Even as researchers strive to understand their complex and obscure social and mating behaviours, time is running out for these unique creatures. Use your wallet as a weapon and protect the Marsh deer #BoycottPalmOil #BoycottGold4Yanomami #Boycott4Wildlife.
Buffy-tufted-ear Marmoset Callithrix aurita
Buffy-tufted-ear Marmosets are enchanting monkeys living in a tiny, isolated region of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. Fight for them and boycott palm oil!
Kaapori Capuchin Cebus kaapori
The Kaapori capuchin is a delightful, tenacious and intelligent small monkey species of #Brazil on a knife-edge of survival – they are critically endangered. In 2017 their population had been decimated by 80% due to deforestation for agriculture including soy, cattle grazing and palm oil. They are forgotten animals with no formal protections in place. Fight for them every time you shop and be #vegan #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife
How our food choices cut into forests and put us closer to viruses
As the global population has doubled to 7.8 billion in about 50 years, industrial agriculture has increased the output from fields and farms to feed humanity. One of the negative outcomes of this transformation has been the extreme simplification of ecological systems, with complex multi-functional landscapes converted to vast swaths of monocultures that lack the complexity of biodiversity found in tropical rainforests. Industrial agriculture is the biggest threat to rare wild animals and rare wild plants in the world.

Wild Water Buffalo Bubalus arnee
Massive, muscular, and critically under threat, the Wild Water Buffalo Bubalus arnee is the endangered ancestor of all domestic buffalo breeds. Once roaming vast swathes of South and Southeast Asia, fewer than 4,000 individual buffaloes remain today, scattered across shrinking habitats in India, Nepal, Cambodia, and a handful of neighbouring nations. Their decline is driven by interbreeding with domestic buffalo species, habitat destruction from farming and palm oil plantations, hunting, and disease transmission from livestock. This ancient grazer of flooded grasslands and braided rivers is vanishing before our eyes. Speak out for them and support indigenous-led efforts to restore their ecosystems. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
