An adult chimpanzee at the Pandrillus Drill Sanctuary, Nigeria.

I am fascinated by chimpanzees, these most human-like mammals that nurse their babies until they are three years old, use simple tools like twigs to poke into ant nests and noisily communicate with the rest of their troop.

This is what a massive forest fire looks like

Huge forest fires in Indonesia are blanketing Singapore and Malaysia with record-breaking pollution

The Sumatran rainforests, home to the last Sumatran tigers, orangutans and rhinos, are on fire. Our team have been on the ground documenting the disaster. These devastating images show what they found.

Clearing peatland rainforest in a palm oil concession in Riau owned by PT Palma Satu, part of the Duta Palma group.

The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil was set up so you could buy palm oil without fueling deforestation. So why does it look like Duta Palma, an RSPO member, is destroying the Indonesian rainforest?

KFC’s sauces aren’t just for chicken. VOTE for the sauce you’d like the Colonel dipped in

While the US voted, the world held it's breath. But although the US elections are now over, voting is still taking place. And this time you get the chance to take part as polling stations open for The Big Dip’im where KFC’s Colonel Sanders will be plunged into a giant bucket of his own sauce. You get to choose the flavour!

Success with KFC UK and Ireland! But it's not over yet...

Orangutans taking action outside KFC in London

Great news! We've gained an important win in protecting Indonesia's rainforests as KFC UK & Ireland commit to excluding suppliers actively involved in rainforest clearance. 

Don’t blame the tigers, blame deforestation.

Sumadi, whose son was killed by a tiger

As a teenage boy is killed by a tiger forced out of its natural habitat by deforestation, we ask how serious must this get before KFC publicly cut ties with companies pulping rainforests?
