Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the 26-29th August i'll be travelling to Iceland to complete a 100km walk over 2 days where I'll be walking to raise awareness and money for International Animal Rescue and the work they are doing for Orangutangs in Borneo..  https://www.internationalanimalrescue.org/orangutan-sanctuary

Every day we are buying goods containing Palm oil which is leading to incredible habit loss all through out Asia critically endangering these animals. Palm oil is in almost everything we buy and as consumers need to be aware so we can hold the companies that create these products accountable. Accountability for their supply chain and the damage they do.  Unfortunately bribery and corruption is rampant where this destruction occurs so it is up to the companies to ensure they are not contributing to this ongoing problem by being productive corporate citizens and holding themselves to a higher account. https://orangutan.org/rainforest/the-effects-of-palm-oil/

These beautiful animals are nearing extinction and organisation such as International Animal Rescue are doing all they can to stop this from happening. Please support my worthwhile cause!
