The Bornean Gibbon Hylobates muelleri, also known as Müller’s #gibbon or the Southern Grey Gibbon, is a master of the treetops and a celebrated forest singer. Their haunting duets echo across the rainforest canopy, keeping family bonds strong and warning intruders away. But these calls are growing rarer. The Müller’s gibbon is listed as #Endangered due to relentless forest loss caused by logging, #palmoil expansion, #fire, and #hunting. Their future depends on the survival of Borneo’s rainforests.

Wrinkled Hornbill Rhabdotorrhinus corrugatus
Discover the fascinating world of the Wrinkled Hornbill. These ancient and magnificent birds thriving in lush primary evergreen and swamp forests up to 1,000 meters above sea level. Unfortunately, their habitat faces threats from forest fires and the conversion of lowland forests into large-scale palm oil and rubber plantations, along with small-scale agriculture. These majestic creatures rely on large trees for nesting, putting them at risk due to logging. But we can help! By boycotting palm oil and adopting a #vegan lifestyle, we can protect the Wrinkled Hornbills and their precious home. Let’s come together and make a positive impact for wildlife preservation. 🌳🐦💚 #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

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

Sipora Flying Squirrel Hylopetes sipora
On the small, forested island of #Sipora, #Indonesia the Sipora flying #squirrel Hylopetes sipora drifts silently between ancient trees. This rare squirrel is found nowhere else on earth. At night, the Sipora flying squirrel emerges from the hollows of towering trees, their large eyes scanning the dim canopy. With a sudden leap, they unfold their patagium—a membrane stretching from wrist to ankle—and glide effortlessly through the air, landing on a distant branch with barely a sound. The forests of Sipora are being cleared for #timber, charcoal and #palmoil, leaving the Sipora flying squirrel with fewer places to hide.

Woolly Flying Squirrel Eupetaurus cinereus
The Western Woolly Flying #Squirrel Eupetaurus cinereus is one of the world’s largest and least understood gliding mammals. Once thought extinct for nearly 70 years, they were rediscovered in the remote mountainous forests of northern #Pakistan and #India in 1994. This remarkable species inhabits high-altitude cliffs and coniferous forests, where they glide with effortless grace between trees despite their large size. However, their survival is under severe threat from habitat destruction, #deforestation, and human persecution.

The Smoky Flying Squirrel (Pteromyscus pulverulentus) is a rare and elusive creature silently and gracefully gliding between the towering canopies of Southeast Asia’s rainforests. With their smoky-grey fur, expansive gliding membrane, and bushy tail, these squirrels are perfectly adapted to a dynamic life on the move in the treetops.
Classified as Endangered by the IUCN, their populations are dwindling and at a critical all time low due to habitat destruction from timber logging, palm oil plantations, and agricultural expansion. This fleet footed nocturnal marvel symbolises the fragile ecosystems of Southeast Asia. Protect them by boycotting palm oil and fighting deforestation. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Seri’s Tree Kangaroo Dendrolagus stellarum
Seri’s #TreeKangaroo is one of the world’s most elusive #marsupials of the genus #Dendrolagus surviving only in the remote mountains of #PapuaNewGuinea and the contested territory of #WestPapua. In these highlands, Indigenous Papuans have resisted Indonesian rule for over half a century, while the forests themselves are threatened by commercial logging, palm oil, and hunting.

Doria’s Tree Kangaroo Dendrolagus dorianus
High in the misty mountain rainforests of Papua New Guinea, Doria’s Tree Kangaroo moves with deliberate agility through the dense canopy. With their thick brown fur, powerful limbs, and expressive dark eyes, these marsupials are a striking reminder of the ancient and unique wildlife of New Guinea. Unlike their terrestrial kangaroo cousins, Doria’s Tree Kangaroos have adapted to an arboreal life, leaping through tree canopies with ease and foraging among the leaves.
But their world is rapidly shrinking. Doria’s along with other tree kangaroos in the Dendrolagus genus are hunted mercilessly for bushmeat and threatened by palm oil deforestation, Gas mining and road infrastructure expansion, and land conversion, their numbers are in decline. Despite their elusiveness, they cannot escape the dangers encroaching on their rainforest home. Help them every time you shop and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
