Save the orangutans: Greenpeace activists wearing orangutan and KitKat chocolate costumes take part in a protest outside a building that houses the local headquarters of Swiss food and beverage company Nestle in Jakarta, on Wednesday. Greenpeace activists staged the protest criticizing Nestle for using palm oil from plantations that allegedly destroyed the habitats of endangered species such as orangutans. Earlier this month the company said it dropped an Indonesian palm oil supplier, Sinar Mas Group, following its own investigation into damage caused to rain forests and peat fields in Southeast Asia by palm oil plantations.
