Sunda Clouded Leopard Neofelis diardi 

Gliding through the rainforest canopy like a phantom predator, the Sunda Clouded Leopard moves with unmatched grace, making them one of the least understood big cats in the world. Their spectacularly patterned coat, the longest canines relative to skull size of any feline, and astonishing agility in trees set these big cats apart as a truly unique species. Yet, despite these remarkable adaptations, these mysterious carnivores are now rapidly vanishing from the wild due to human-related threats.

Massive infrastructure projects, industrial-scale palm oil plantations, and poaching for the illegal wildlife trade have decimated their populations. Once thought to be a subspecies of the mainland clouded leopard, genetic studies in 2006 confirmed that they are a distinct species, found only in Borneo and Sumatra. Today, they are among the most threatened felines in the world, teetering on the edge of an uncertain future. Take action for them every time you shop and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Wallace’s Flying Frog Rhacophorus nigropalmatus

The elusive and visually stunning Wallace’s Flying #Frog are known for their mysterious nature and their ability to take flight and glide through the air like dancers. They reveal themselves only during breeding aggregations when they descend from the trees.

Recent surveys in various regions, including the Matang Range in #Sarawak, #Malaysia, and the Endau-Rompin in West Malaysia, have documented the presence of this species. However, their overall population faces a concerning decline due to the ongoing loss of habitat for #palmoil #deforestation. Urgent conservation efforts are critical to reverse this trend and to ensure the survival of this intriguing species in their natural environment. Help this frog to survive every time you shop, make sure that you #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife in the supermarket!

Smoky Flying Squirrel Pteromyscus pulverulentus

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

Murud Black Slender Toad Ansonia vidua

The Murud Black Slender Toad is an enigmatic amphibian, perfectly camouflaged among the rocks and vegetation of Borneo’s high-altitude forests. Known only from the remote Mount Murud region, their sleek black body and delicate frame make them one of the most unique species of their kind. These toads are specialists, thriving near fast-flowing streams where they feed and reproduce.

Despite their ecological significance, they face mounting pressures from habitat destruction. Logging, agricultural expansion, and rising temperatures are pushing them closer to extinction. Fight to save them by boycotting palm oil and supporting indigenous-led conservation. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife.
