At the request of FNPF, Geraldine visited Borneo in 2005 where she saw firsthand the destruction caused by the planting of palm oil plantations that threaten local plant and animal species.
“It’s soul destroying seeing the habitats of these magnificent creatures being wiped out as a result on the one hand of human greed and on the other, ignorance at the damage that is being done."
“As a wildlife artist and activist I’m urging people to not only avoid products with palm oil, but to more importantly support the relentless and challenging work of the Friends of the National Parks Foundation.
Friends of the National Parks Foundation has won numerous awards from AusAid, the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, and the Australian Consulate in Indonesia. It has been supported by the Humane Society International Australia since 2000.
