Sun Bear Helarctos malayanus

Sun bears are playful and energetic small bear species from South East Asia who are increasingly becoming marginalised by deforestation and trade for their body parts.

With their glistening golden crescent chest markings, these bears embody uniqueness and bold beauty. Despite their tenacity palm oil and timber deforestation is an unmatched threat to their survival. They are now vulnerable from this and other threats and have lost 50-80% of their range. Help to protect them and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife in the supermarket!

Thomas’s Langur Presbytis thomasi

Thomas’s Langur, also known as the North Sumatran Leaf #Monkey is famous for their bold facial stripes giving them a handsome profile. These monkeys are endemic to the lush forests of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Listed as Vulnerable by the Red List, this striking species is facing serious population declines due to habitat loss, primarily driven by illegal logging and oil palm deforestation. Though not as globally known as some of its neighbours, such as the Sumatran Orangutan, Thomas’s Langur plays an equally vital role in forest regeneration and seed dispersal. You can help protect them by using your consumer power: always choose palm oil-free products.#BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife #Vegan

Sumatran Cochoa Cochoa beccarii

The Sumatran Cochoa Cochoa beccarii is a rare and secretive forest-dwelling #songbird found only in the highland rainforests of #Sumatra #Indonesia. With their shimmering electric blue and smoky black plumage and elusive behaviour, this species of songbird moves in a melodic symphony of song through the middle and upper canopy, often remaining hidden from view. Although currently listed as #Vulnerable, the species is experiencing a slow but steady decline caused by #deforestation and trapping for the illegal bird trade. As demand for exotic songbirds grows, especially online, the Sumatran Cochoa faces a very real risk of disappearing from the wild. Use your wallet as a weapon. Say no to palm oil and never support the illegal wildlife trafficking and illegal songbird trade. Campaign against wildlife trafficking and #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife #Vegan

Mainland Serow Capricornis sumatraensis

The Mainland serow, a reclusive wild goat-antelope, is a remarkable yet poorly understood resident of Southeast Asia’s rugged terrains. This enigmatic animal, with their coarse black coat and sharply curving horns, has earned a mythical status in local folklore due to their elusiveness and adaptability to steep, rocky landscapes.

However, the Mainland serow like many other ungulates is facing a precarious future. Habitat destruction from palm oil plantations, logging, and agricultural expansion has drastically reduced their numbers, leaving their population fragmented and declining. Protect these remarkable creatures and their fragile home—boycott palm oil and fight for their survival. #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife
