BP Destroys savannah and Threatens Rainforests in Brazil
BP is planning to invest 4 billion Euros in Brazil for the production of sugar cane ethanol. Their first ethanol refinery started production last year and a second one is in planning.  Ethanol is lucrative, due to government targets for agrofuels.  They have actively lobbied for such targets, including in the US, EU and UK.  Sugar cane ethanol requires vast plantations which are destroying Brazil’s Cerrado savannah and threatens rainforests.
Please sign a petition against BP’s agrofuel investment.

Encourage World Bank to Permanently End Oil Palm Financing
The recently announced IFC suspension on oil palm finance is only temporary, must encourage Bank to make it permanent.
Ombudsman report on 20 years of corrupt World Bank Group, IFC lending to the Indonesian oil palm industry casts doubt on Bank's involvement in oil palm industry, yet the suspension of oil palm funding is only temporary.
The World Bank Group must permanently end all financial support for oil palm and other industrial rainforest developments known to be the root causes of deforestation, degradation and climate change.
