Siberut Flying Squirrel Petinomys lugens
The Siberut Flying Squirrel is one of the world’s most elusive gliders, found only in the #Mentawai Archipelago’s humid forests. At dusk, the Siberut Flying Squirrel launches from high branches, spreading their soft, square-shaped patagium to drift silently between ancient trees. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and moss, and the only sound is the faint rustle of leaves as the Siberut Flying #Squirrel lands. Their world is shrinking fast—logging and #palmoil plantations are destroying the last forests on #Siberut, #Sipora, and North Pagai. No conservation actions protect the Siberut Flying Squirrel. Stand with indigenous communities and use your wallet as a weapon. #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.

Bornean Banded Langur Presbytis chrysomelas
The Bornean banded langur, known for its striking black and white coat, is one of Southeast Asia’s most elusive and endangered primates. These langurs inhabit the fragmented lowland forests and peat swamps of Borneo, relying on dense foliage for their survival.
The population of Bornean banded langurs is rapidly declining due to habitat destruction for palm oil plantations, illegal logging, and hunting. As their habitat continues to shrink, these shy and rarely seen primates face an uncertain future. Use your wallet as a weapon—boycott palm oil and join the fight for their survival. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
