| Nana- | Deadline to Save Sumatran Tigers: Midnight Friday
We need to raise $60,000 by midnight Friday to save these tigers.
 | A tiger cub looks for tree cover as a stranger approaches, but its lush rainforest home is now a barren field. Its mother's majestic roar pierces the air. But her voice is abruptly silenced by another, unnatural, roar...a gunshot.
With their forest home destroyed, tigers have nowhere to hide from gun-toting poachers. And with just 400 Sumatran tigers left, the survival of every tiger cub counts.
We need your help now — our campaign to raise $60,000 to save the last remaining Sumatran tigers ends at midnight Friday. We’re so close to our goal.
Please make a gift today to stop the forest destruction and support our fight to save a tiger's life.
With your support, we'll fight back with our expert staff on the ground, international market pressure from customers, and worldwide media exposure in the press — but we need to do it now. The Indonesian rainforest where the only wild Sumatran tigers on the planet live is being destroyed every day at an alarming rate.
Sumatran tigers are being pushed to extinction for throw-away paper. Greenpeace research shows that KFC and its parent company Yum! have been wrapping fast-food in paper made from rainforest fiber. The world is full of paper — the fast-food industry shouldn't be driving the destruction of Sumatran tiger habitat for throw-away chicken buckets.
That's why just two weeks ago we exposed KFC on a global scale. Our bold protests generated coverage from TV, newspapers and media across the world. Together, we sent over 70,000 letters to KFC to stop selling chicken buckets made from rainforest destruction. And more than 50,000 people around the world have joined the revolt online against KFC’s packaging. It’s been an amazing start.
We've got the company’s attention — but we need to keep up the pressure up to ensure KFC executives drop deforestation from their supply chain for good.
Please make an urgent gift today and help us raise $15,000 more by midnight Friday to save these last Sumatran tigers.
Because we count on the combined power of small donations from ordinary citizens like you, we can only save these tigers with your support.
With the support of activists like you, we'll fight to save the lives of tigers, and ensure cubs growing up today have a forest to call home. And together, we'll shine a spotlight on the reckless corporations driving deforestation so dirty business-as-usual has nowhere to hide.
It's all about supply and demand. When customers demand deforestation-free products, companies like KFC must respond. Ultimately, that market pressure means paper companies like Asia Pulp & Paper — a leading destroyer of tiger habitat — will learn that rainforest destruction is bad for business and clean up their act for good. Thanks to our combined efforts, Nestle, Kraft, Unilever, and Mattel have already changed their policies. This is a fight we can win.
Make an emergency gift now before our midnight Friday deadline to help us expose these corporations in the press, fight to save these tigers on the ground, and protect our environment.
Picture a rainforest preserved. Wildlife pulled back from the brink of extinction. Tiger cubs growing up, having their own offspring, and the cycle of life continuing, as it has for millennia, in their forest homes.
Join me in standing up and fighting back to make this future a reality.
