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. Help them by sharing out this campaign and calling out exploitative industries, it’s the #Boycott4Wildlife
Vordermann’s Flying Squirrel Petinomys vordermanni
In #Borneo’s twilight, the Vordermann’s flying #squirrel emerges from her nest, resplendent with orange cheeks and black-ringed eyes. This small, #nocturnal #mammal is a master of the rainforest canopy. They use an ingenious membrane called a patagium to effortlessly glide between trees. A flying squirrel’s world is one of constant motion and quiet vigilance. Don’t let this world disappear! The forests that sustain them are vanishing at an alarming rate. Palm oil-driven deforestation, logging, and land conversion are tearing through their habitat, leaving only fragmented forest. Use your wallet as a weapon and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife.

The Grizzled Tree Kangaroo Dendrolagus inustus and their ash-grey coats and quiet agile movements, are the ghostly figures of New Guinea’s dwindling rainforests.

Palm oil is rapidly obliterating their forest home. Without urgent action, these shy, elusive creatures will vanish into the mist forever. Boycott palm oil and go #vegan for them.

Blue-eyed Cockatoo Cacatua ophthalmica
The Blue-eyed Cockatoo is a striking and charismatic bird, known for their vivid blue eye rings and expressive crests. These cockatoos depend on mature forests for nesting and food but face significant threats, including habitat destruction caused by out-of-control palm oil plantations, illegal hunting, and the illegal pet trade. Conservation efforts are critical to ensure the survival of this remarkable species. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
Ifola Dendrolagus notatus
The Ifola, a rare and little-known tree kangaroo, inhabits the tropical montane forests of the Fakfak Mountains in Papua New Guinea and Indonesian-occupied West Papua. First identified as a distinct species in 1993, this remarkable marsupial is part of the genus Dendrolagus, known for their arboreal lifestyle. With their restricted range and vulnerability to habitat loss, Ifola are at significant risk due to palm oil deforestation, gold mining, and other human activities encroaching on their high-altitude homes. Their survival is tied to the preservation of the rich, biodiverse forests they call home. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife

Black Crested Gibbon Nomascus concolor
The Black-Crested Gibbon of the genus Nomascus is a truly enchanting primate, renowned for their melodic morning duets that echo through the forests of southern China, Vietnam, and Laos. What makes these calls even more remarkable is their regional variation—these gibbons sing with distinct “accents,” unique to their local populations. These complex songs not only strengthen bonds between mates but also serve as territorial markers, ensuring harmony within their fragmented forest homes.
Despite their beauty and ecological importance, Black-Crested Gibbons are at risk of extinction. Habitat destruction for agriculture, and logging, coupled with hunting for the bushmeat trade and the illegal pet trade, is rapidly shrinking their population. Protecting their future is vital for the health of their ecosystems. Take action now: Boycott the illegal wildlife trade, be #vegan and #Boycott4Wildlife.
Arfak Ringtail Pseudochirulus schlegeli
The Arfak Ringtail Pseudochirulus schlegeli is a wide-eyed and bushy tailed #possum living in the remote Arfak Mountains and cloud forests of #WestPapua.

These cryptic and fluffy arboreal beauties are found in the mossy, cloud-wrapped forests of the Vogelkop Peninsula’s Arfak Mountains. Listed as #Vulnerable, the species faces mounting pressure from #deforestation for #palmoil and #timber and #hunting by local communities. With fewer than five known locations and less than 20,000 km² of suitable habitat, this highland #possum could disappear quietly without urgent action.
