Description
A new report released today by Rainforest Action Network (RAN) calls out ten multinational brands and seven major banks that represent some of the most influential companies fueling the destruction of rainforests and the violation of human rights. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said that reducing deforestation and the degradation of natural ecosystems is one of the most effective ways to mitigate climate change globally. Yet the report, titled ''[https://www.ran.org/keepforestsstanding-report Keep Forests Standing: Exposing Brands and Banks Driving Deforestation]'', outlines how the business practices of these brands and banks are continuing to drive the destruction of critical tropical rainforests, and in some cases, are failing to uphold their own commitments to end deforestation and respect Indigenous Peoples’ rights by 2020.

Description
The Leuser Ecosystem on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia thrums with life. It is an ancient, 6.5 million acres of lush rainforest and steamy peat swamps, and because of its rich biodiversity, is one of the most important rainforests still standing today. Its clear rivers provide drinking water for millions of people and its lowland and mountainous rainforests are literally the last place on Earth where Sumatran elephants, orangutans, tigers, rhinos and sunbears still coexist in the wild. Globally, we all depend on it for the climate regulating effects such a large carbon-sink can have. And yet, the Leuser Ecosystem is being actively destroyed for palm oil and other industries.
