Unilever's 'Monkey Business' - Greenpeace swings into action

International — It's been a busy morning for Greenpeace activists across Europe, many of whom have been dressing up as orang-utans to draw attention to Unilever's "monkey business". Today, we're launching the next stage in our campaign to protect the rainforests of Indonesia from the expansion of the palm oil industry.
Our research shows that Unilever, maker of Dove and many other well-known brands, is buying palm oil from companies that are destroying valuable rainforest and peatland areas; bad news not only for the millions of people who depend on these for their way of life and endangered species such as the orang-utan, but also for the global climate.
