Sign the Petition: "Save the Tapanuli Orangutans"

AVAAZ.org

The Tapanuli Orangutan is one of the most intelligent, emotionally complex beings on Earth; they feel joy, fear, love and loss.

And their entire species lives in a single rainforest in Sumatra, Indonesia.

But their home could be destroyed: corporate giant Jardine Matheson is set to expand a gold mine that could tear down a significant part of these great apes' only home.

Bulldozers haven't started yet -- and if we act fast, they never will.
Let's come together and demand Jardine Matheson's chief Ben Keswick use all his executive power to halt this reckless expansion.
If we build a global outcry and amplify it with eye-catching actions and smart media coverage, we can send a clear message that expanding this mine is not worth the risk.

More than a million of us defended these orangutans before, we can do it again.
