Carolina Tiger Rescue is thrilled to announce an impactful partnership with Big Spoon Roasters! This collaboration is driven by our shared commitment to wildlife conservation and sustainability, aiming to protect wild cats, preserve endangered species, and safeguard natural habitats.
Big Spoon Roasters, known for their dedication to responsible sourcing and ethical practices, is supporting Carolina Tiger Rescue by donating proceeds from sales of their award-winning Lum Lum Thai Curry Peanut & Cashew Butter. Each purchase of this delicious product helps fund essential projects at Carolina Tiger Rescue, including:
- Rescuing and providing sanctuary for wild animals in need
- Educating visitors, especially students and children, on the importance of conservation through interactive tours and programming
- Advocating for policies that protect wildlife, end the wild pet trade, curb breeding of wild animals in captivity, and improve overall animal welfare
The partnership also focuses on raising awareness about the destructive impact of the palm oil industry on wildlife habitats, particularly in Southeast Asia. Palm oil is one of the most widely used vegetable oils globally, often found in “no stir” nut butters and shelf-stable cosmetics. Its demand has led to massive deforestation, with forests being cleared at an alarming rate to make way for palm oil plantations. This deforestation not only threatens the survival of species like the Sumatran tiger but also endangers countless other animals, including orangutans. With only around 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild, urgent action is needed.
To support these efforts, Big Spoon Roasters has launched a SAVE TIGERS t-shirt carrying the messages AVOID PALM OIL and EAT BIG SPOON. This initiative encourages people to make choices that align with conservation values by seeking products that don’t contribute to habitat destruction.
“We believe businesses can be forces for good, and we are thrilled to support the important work Carolina Tiger Rescue does to protect endangered animals and our shared ecosystem,” said Big Spoon Roasters Co-Founders Mark and Megan Overbay. “Through this partnership, we hope to raise awareness about the destructive nature of the palm oil industry and make it easier for our customers to contribute to meaningful conservation with every purchase.”
This collaboration extends beyond fundraising. Carolina Tiger Rescue and Big Spoon Roasters will work together on educational campaigns to inform the public about the importance of habitat preservation and sustainable consumer choices. By sharing resources and content across our websites and social media platforms, we aim to inspire people to make a positive impact.
“Partnering with Big Spoon Roasters is exciting because their values align with ours—working toward a sustainable future where wildlife and people can thrive together,” said Kris Marino, Executive Director of Carolina Tiger Rescue. “With Big Spoon’s support, we can further our mission and make an even greater impact.”
Big Spoon Roasters has also updated the packaging of their Lum Lum Thai Curry Peanut & Cashew Butter jars to feature a message about this partnership, along with a QR code that links customers directly to a donation page for Carolina Tiger Rescue. This fundraising campaign is ongoing, ensuring that every purchase continues to support our mission as long as the product is available.
If you’d like to contribute to wildlife conservation, you can make a difference by purchasing Lum Lum Thai Curry Peanut & Cashew Butter, sporting a SAVE TIGERS t-shirt, and spreading the word. Every action counts, and together, we can protect wild cats and endangered species for generations to come.
