CEO Note: Our New Orangutan Campaign in the NYT
Mighty Earth has launched a campaign following investigations that revealed the destruction of 100,000 acres of orangutan habitat and Indigenous Dayak forest in Indonesia. The report identifies American RV manufacturers, including Winnebago, Thor Inc., and Forest River, as consumers of meranti wood sourced from suppliers Mayawana Persada and Alas Kusuma, who were found excavating peat in violation of Indonesian law. While Indonesia has reduced commercial deforestation by approximately 90%, this case highlights ongoing evasion of forest protections. Following public scrutiny, the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry ordered the responsible company to halt its bulldozers.
