    Hailed as an eco-friendly bio fuel, palm oil has been dubbed ‘the New Gold’. However, its exploitation has taken a devastating toll on the delicate ecosystem of Indonesia’s rainforests.
    The natural habitat of many animals, including the endangered Orang-utan is being systematically destroyed. Humankind’s closest relative is facing exctinction to satisfy demand for this precious new commodity. “To date around 60 million hectares of rainforest have been destroyed. This is the area of France.” Ironically, the ‘slash and burn’ technique used to produce Palm Oil, which involves burning land once the trees have been felled has led to Indonesia becoming the third-largest emitter of Carbon Dioxide in the world. How can we meet surging energy demands without further damaging our planet? Palm oil is unfortunately not the answer.

    Europeans if educated wouldn’t do this it’s the locals who don’t care. Literally they say the Europeans don’t know where it’s coming from.

      So this was made 10 years ago saying these apes would be extinct by 2020? Yeah right. Orangutans are not our ancestors, they are all the garbage we left behibd 100,000 years ago . I'm not going to deny the Indonesian children an economic future over a bunch of useless apes.. Isn't it funny nobody local supports this organization? They have to beg Americans and Europeans for money. Who are mainly tourists and will say if "poor apes" it's the new neo colonialism. The children of this country live in extreme poverty, if these apes need to be moved and some killed to give them a future so be it. A bunch of European trust fund conservationist dont feed families, plantations do.
