SOCFIN’s Empire of Palm Oil Oppression in Africa
Investigation by Bloomberg exposes that despite being RSPO members, #SOCFIN plantations in #WestAfrica are the epicentre of #humanrights abuses, sexual coercion, environmental destruction, and #landgrabbing. Operating in #Liberia, #Ghana, #Nigeria, and beyond, SOCFIN’s #rubber and #palmoil plantations continue historical colonial legacies of exploitation. Despite widespread evidence of abuse and deforestation, SOCFIN and its partners benefit from weak sustainability certifications such as #FSC and #RSPO. Europe and the US buy products directly linked to these violations, greenwashing the destruction in the process. Indigenous communities and workers are actively resisting this huge injustice —They seek proper redress in the form of stricter #EUDR regulations and better protections of their health, livelihoods and families. Consumers can boycott palm oil and rubber in solidarity. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Declining primate numbers are threatening Brazil’s Atlantic forest
#Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world, is facing severe threats due to deforestation and habitat fragmentation. This has led to a sharp decline in primate species, including the critically endangered southern and northern muriqui. The loss of these #primates, essential for seed dispersers in the Atlantic forest, is further destabilising the forest ecosystem. As human-driven deforestation escalates, the #extinction debt continues to rise, endangering both wildlife and the forest itself. You can take action to help their survival. Be #vegan for the animals and forests and #BoycottPalmOil #BoycottGold #Boycott4Wildlife.
