CONGRATULATION GREENPEACEl SANTANDER STOPPED DESTRUCTION OF RAINFORESTS -- Update 12 June, 2015

ORANG  UTAN

LATEST NEWS -  12 June, 2015 -- Greenpeace had further talks with APRIL and they decided now to stop the deforestation completely. It is fantastic good news because hundred thousands of acres of ancient rainforest will be saved.


UPDATE:  27 February, 2015 --  Good News UK Santander promised to pull out backing APRIL.  Whether that means all the backing and if their promise is true and immediately, remains to be seen. At least Greenpeace received that promise. It also remains to be seen whether the other backers are pulling out. Banks and Financials world seem to have lost principles these days. 

UPDATE: 20 February, 2015 -- As much as Greenpeace keeps pressuring Santander they still buying time  by saying they awaiting APRIL's report. This is not good enough because every day another piece of rainforest is lost forever. It has to be stopped immediately to avoid another part of the rainforest  gone forever. Greenpeace is trying to get an appointment with the top chief executive but, unfortunately, it is still another day lost and with that a piece of rainforest.  Santander could have stopped it weeks and months ago when Greenpeace started contacting them.

Right now, digger are cutting down Indonesia’s rainforest and pushing Oran Utan, tigers, sun bears and many other species towards extinction.

The banking group Santander is backing APRIL a pulp and paper company with millions of pounds to destroy Indonesia’s rainforest.

Tell Santander to stop final extinction or you will withdraw your account but tell them why.

Over the last few years Santander have loaned millions to APRIL which chopping down Indonesia’s rainforest at an alarming rate. If Santander wants to be responsible company, it needs to end the loans now and this would hot APRIL where it hurts most – in the pockets.

which takes you straight to the competition to sign.  It would be great to receive signatures, as many as possible. It would increase the pressure to stop. 

IF THAT DOES NOT MAKE YOUR 

HEART BLEED, NOTHING WILL

Greenpeace forced already Santander to admit that they support APRIL financially but the High Street branches say it’s monitoring the situation and will act accordingly. It is nothing but a white wash and playing for time. So far Santander used to deny them financial support to APRIL. While all this was and is going on the rainforest has been cut down and that was exactly what they were playing at. Only after 75,000 of Greenpeace took action Santander admitted their financial support but still refuses to stop.

According to Greenpeace APRIL had been destroying rainforest for years. It is not known how long Santander advanced loans to them.

Santander said it is waiting for APRIL’s results of a sustainable forest management which is an again a white wash and playing for time. It still does not give the result of stopping cutting down the rainforest which Greenpeace and all of us want. The rainforest is such a complicated environment which only nature could make links between many species and plants and once it is destroyed it can never be established again. It will affect not only Orang Utans, tigers, sun bears and many other smaller species and many plants and birds which are all relying on each other.  Once the chain is broken it would result into                                                                                                  extinction of many.

                               WHICH PICTURE IS BETTER !!!!!! 
  IT HAS TO STOP NOW NOT WAITING FOR THIS REPORT AND THAT REPORT.  ALL A NAME OF THE GAME AND  IN THE MEANTIME THE DESTRUCTION GOES ON.  THAT IS THEIR AIM.                                                     

KPMG assessed APRIL last year.  A leaked report
says that not one of APRIL’S suppliers has met its policy and that includes Santander.

APRIL gave another promise to rectify it but APRIL is known to make and break promises and al the time another piece of rainforest has gone and that is their real policy.

Now we come to the final point; unless the backers all pull out immediately and it has to be immediately APRIL will not stop to destroy Indonesia’s rainforest and drive Orang Utans, tigers, sun bears, rare pygmy elephant and many other species driven to extinctions.

Indonesia's rainforests are home to untold number of plants and animals. Over the years, scientists uncover more rare species that can not be found anywhere else. Yet, the forests are disappearing fast, as greedy companies chop down the trees to make paper and packaging.
