Palm oil destroy Orangutan habitat

Winona

Scientists estimate that fewer than 60,000 orangutans remain in the wild on Borneo and Sumatra.

The palm oil industry, which is causing clear-cutting of forests, forest fires, and also facilitates greater access for hunters and traders, is one of the most important factors for the dramatic reduction of orangutan populations.
