What You Can Do
Say No to Palm Oil!
By saying no to palm oil, you could help these creatures out! Palm oil plantations are the main reason why this species’ habitats are being destroyed, and if enough people stop consuming packaged products that contain palm oil, there will be no need for palm oil plantations, resulting in a decrease in deforestation, and an increase in habitat preservation! There are plenty of alternatives for these products and there are companies designated to have foods with no palm oil. So the next time you go to buy that Doritos bag or buy that Skippy peanut butter, just know that you could be doing something to help stop the destruction of this extraordinary creature’s home. It is as simple as that, you can save this butterfly species, and hundreds of others from extinction, right from the entrance of your local grocery store (palm oil - deforestation for everyday products, 1986).
Here are some more solutions!
