Petition Pressure the Indonesian government to put a stop to deforestation

The British Government needs to pressure the Indonesian government to put a stop to deforestation by palm oil companies. The tribes who live in the rainforest in Papau New Guinea deserve justice. An area the size of Chicago has been destroyed.

More details

Nearly 60,000 hectares of forests have been cleared - an area the size of Chicago.

A 2018 report by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) said there was no evidence that illegal fires had been set by palm oil companies. However the BBC obtained a copy which found “evidence beyond reasonable doubt” that 30,000 hectares of forest had been destroyed in breach of FSC regulations.
