Save an Orangutan this Halloween

What do I mean by that?
This Halloween when you go out and buy your candy to give out be sure to read the labels. Pick candy companies that are members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). Orangutans are already critically endangered animals but we can help by just reading the labels on the things we buy. Don't you want your children to see a orangutan one day, well if they are extincted they will be unable to do that.

Watch this video below to find out why this is important and what you can do.




On Cheyenne Mountain Zoo you can learn all about this problem and find what palm tree oil is, orangutan facts and impacts on local people.

Use these list the next time you go shopping and save an orangutan
