Banded Surili (Raffles Banded Langur) Presbytis femoralis
A curious and intelligent small monkey species, Raffles’ Banded Langurs are also known by their other common names: Banded Leaf Monkey or Banded Surili. Endemic to the southern Malay Peninsula and Singapore, this critically endangered monkey is now found in only a few fragmented pockets of primary and secondary forest, swamps, mangroves, and rubber plantations. Once widespread across Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, and Thailand, the banded surili’s population has plummeted—fewer than 60 individuals survive in Malaysia, with Singapore’s last wild group clinging to existence in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. Palm oil deforestation and habitat destruction continue to erase their world. Help them survive and #BoycottPalmOil and #Boycott4Wildlife every time you shop.
Bearded Pig Sus barbatus
Bearded Pigs have hair which grows along their lower jaws that resembles a beard – giving them their distinctive whiskery appearance and their name. The Bearded Pig is an integral part of Southeast Asia’s tropical ecosystems, known for their unique appearance and critical role as seed dipersers in forest health. They are the only pig species known to migrate, moving in synchrony with fruiting seasons. However, they face mounting threats from habitat loss for palm oil and timber, along with illegal hunting, and disease. Help them to survive and use your wallet as a weapon in the supermarket #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
Masked Finfoot Heliopais personatus
The Masked Finfoot is vanishing before our eyes. These rare and secretive waterbirds are in freefall due to palm oil expansion and habitat destruction.
Southeast Asian Box Turtle Cuora amboinensis
The Southeast Asian Box #Turtle Cuora amboinensis, also known as the Amboina Box Turtle, Malayan Box Turtle, or Indonesian Box Turtle, is a freshwater #reptile species found across much of Southeast Asia. This species is under severe pressure due to overexploitation for food, traditional medicine, and the #pettrade, particularly in Australia, #China, Europe, and the United States. Their semi-aquatic nature allows them to thrive in swamps, rice paddies, and slow-moving rivers, but habitat destruction from #palmoil plantations, #timber and wetland drainage threatens their survival. Their population is rapidly declining due to these threats, making urgent protections necessary. Resist destruction and fight for their survival every time you shop – #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife.
Asian Giant Tortoise Manouria emys

Straw-headed Bulbul Pycnonotus zeylanicus
The Straw-headed Bulbul is a striking bright yellow bird known for their vibrant song, often described as one of the most melodious in the bird world. Their powerful calls echo through Southeast Asia’s lowland forests, but these sounds are becoming increasingly rare. They are critically endangered due to illegal trapping for the cage-bird trade and habitat loss driven by deforestation, including the expansion of palm oil plantations.
Protecting the Straw-headed Bulbul is vital to preserving their unique contribution to the soundscapes of their natural habitats. Fight for their survival by boycotting products linked to deforestation. Use your wallet as a weapon. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
