This year on International Orangutan Day Rainforest Trust is working to protect critical habitat in Indonesia for the Critically Endangered Bornean Orangutan. Orangutans are large, arboreal mammals found in rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. These primates—Asia’s only great ape—spend nearly all of their life in trees, building nests, sleeping, and swinging amongst the forest canopy. Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests are the final stand for the Critically Endangered Bornean Orangutan and other struggling species.

Protecting the Bornean Orangutan’s…

A federal judge has ruled that snacking giant PepsiCo can be sued for allegedly misleading marketing of its Gatorade protein bars. In a decision earlier this week, US District Judge Casey Pitts in San Jose, California, stated that three fitness enthusiasts leading a proposed class action had alleged that PepsiCo’s marketing and labelling of the bars was deceptive. The bars are marketed as ‘good for you’, despite containing more sugar than protein and even more sugar than typical candy bars. The plaintiffs argue that excessive consumption of added sugar is linked to high rates of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.…
