In 2025, just 12 banks provided almost 40% of ALL fossil fuel funding from banks worldwide. That’s right, a dozen dirty banks are responsible for well over a third of the $906 billion poured into fossil fuels last year. See where your bank falls on the list: bankingonclimatechaos.org

Satellites have revealed 42 companies hold land concessions with high fire potential. The only way to stop the fires for good, is to hold these destructive companies accountable, and prevent future expansion! 📸: Nanang Sujana

Kalimantan is especially impacted because the peatland here is dry, causing the fires to spread very quickly. Industrial expansion for palm oil and timber means swampy peatlands get cleared and drained, making them more vulnerable to fire. 📸: Paul Hilton

It’s #InternationalOrangutanDay! 🦧 There are two types of orangutans: the Sumatran and Bornean orangutan. The Bornean orangutan relies on landscapes like the Mahakam Watershed, which is under threat of palm oil expansion. Learn more about our work to protect this landscape: bit.ly/4aDeUXQ

Of all the palm oil plantations in the #MahakamUlu regency, 98% are owned by industry, NOT smallholder farmers. When these plantations are concentrated in the hands of a few large corporations who are divorced from the land, there is little accountability for environmental or community impacts.

The #MahakamUlu regency of East Kalimantan, Borneo contains 1.5 million hectares (3.7 million acres) of standing forest. Of that, 250,000 hectares are palm oil concessions, and 250,000 are timber concessions, meaning a THIRD of all forest in Mahakam Ulu is threatened by industry.

🦤 The helmeted hornbill is different than other hornbills with its completely solid, helmet-like structure, known as a casque. This takes up more than 10% of its body weight and is used in head-to-head combat among males. The helmeted hornbill is also considered Critically Endangered.

🦧 The Bornean orangutan is another Critically Endangered species, with its population declining by 50% in the last 60 years and its habitat shrinking by 55% in the last 20 years. There are between 8,000 and 18,000 individuals left in the wild.

🦏 The Bornean rhino is a subspecies of the Sumatran rhino. It was previously thought extinct in the wild, with only one female rhino surviving in captivity, until a young female rhino was found in East Kalimantan. It is now Critically Endangered under the IUCN, with less than 50 left in the wild.

In the #MahakamUlu regency, 28,500 people rely on the river system for transport, food, and culture. The Indigenous Dayak Bahau, Modang, and Kenyah peoples have lived in the Mahakam landscape for centuries. But industrial expansion threatens their way of life. 📸: Nanang Sujana

The #MahakamLandscape is a key ecosystem that covers 19 million acres of forest, with about 931 km of river. These forests are critical to our planet’s survival – they successfully reduced global carbon emissions by 30 million tons in 2021. Protecting it is protecting our climate & our future.

Chocolate is getting so expensive, just like everything else. But the real cost of chocolate #Easter treats is labor, human rights abuses, and deforestation. That's because Oreo-maker Mondelēz International does business with suppliers linked to illegally-grown #PalmOil & community conflicts.
