Stella McCartney and friends Drew Barrymore, Pink, Gweneth Paltrow and Jimmy Fallon all are pushing to save the planet's tropical forests and critical wildlife habitats in Asia to save the last Sumatran Rhino, Elephant, Tiger and Orangutans.
Lush Cosmetics also recently launched an SOS campaign to bring Leuser Ecosystem to the forefront of the conservation wars.
There She Grows is a new campaign to raise critical funding to reforest and protect Leuser.
Stella McCartney dedicated a tree to her mother Linda and Drew Berrymore to her daughters.
Leuser Ecosystem’s tropical rainforest is home to 105 mammal species, including rhinos, tigers, elephants and the endangered Sumatran Orangutan, 382 bird species and 8,500 plant species.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Adrian Brody came to Leuser in 2016 to raise awareness and began a multi-year funding of over $4 million, enough to move the needle.
After The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation funded over $4 million to help protect Leuser Ecosystem,in Sumatra Indonesia, Global Conservation celebrates a new campaign from the fashion industry led by Stella McCartney and friends.
Global Conservation has been funding core protection, law enforcement, ranger patrols and park management over the past eight years, including FKL Ranger Patrols, new technologies for Global Park Defense, and HaKA legal and policy work.
"We are thrilled to see the fashion industry and popular celebrities focusing on critical ecosystem conservation – before its too late," said Jeff Morgan, Executive Director. "Palm Oil use by cosmetics, fast foods and shopping mall treats are destroying our last wildlife habitats and tropical forests for the greed of a few company owners and there financiers, suppliers and distributors."
To support Leuser Ecosystem, contact globalconservation.org or StellaMcCartneyCares.org. Join the #ThereSheGrows campaign on Instagram and Facebook and donate a tree for a friend or family.
