Thank you for signing the open letter to food companies. It's important we all speak up!

Hundreds of thousands of hectares of forests and woodlands – home to animals like koalas and gang-gang cockatoos – are bulldozed every year to make room to produce more beef.

Much of it will end up in burgers and pies sold by Hungry Jack's, McDonald's and Patties – makers of Four'N Twenty pies.

Forward the open letter directly to Hungry Jack's McDonald's and Patties to increase your impact!

A food system that is good for people and nature is possible and these three big beef buyers must help create it.

With their big, combined buying power, committing to only selling deforestation-free beef would help stop the bulldozers raging in our forests and woodlands.

Pressure from consumers and community members has already seen supermarket giants Woolworths and Aldi to commit to ridding their supply chains of deforestation, and Coles has said it will reveal its own deforestation target soon. But the fast food giants are still dragging the chain. Hungry Jack’s and Patties are turning a blind eye to forest destruction, while McDonald’s won’t clean up their supply chain until 2030.

If you share our vision for a thriving, sustainable Australian agriculture industry which nurtures landscapes, supports communities, and rewards farmers, please add your name to this simple ask to McDonald's, Hungry Jack’s and Patties:

To Hungry Jack's, McDonald's and Patties,

We love this country. Our unique landscapes and wildlife are like nowhere else on earth. Australian nature is part of our identity and culture. We rely on it for clean air and water, for food, and our economy. But Australia's food system is failing nature, and you’re part of it.

The forests, wetlands, and rivers we love and depend on are being destroyed at a dangerous rate. The way we grow our food is a major cause of this nature destruction. Every year hundreds of thousands of hectares of habitat for animals like the koala and gang-gang cockatoo are bulldozed to make room to produce more beef.

Much of it will end up in burgers and pies sold by your companies.

Every Australian should be able to pick up a burger from the drive-thru or a pie at the footy and know that it is not linked to the bulldozing of our wildlife’s homes. Currently we cannot. But you can change that.

Supermarket giants Aldi and Woolworths have already committed to ridding their supply chains of deforestation by 2025 – you must too.

We call on you to commit to selling only deforestation-free beef, stop the destruction of ecosystems, and support the farmers who are producing food while protecting and restoring nature on their land.

Nature needs us now. It needs you now.
