- Palm Oil is a seed crop grown in many parts of the world, the majority being in Malaysia and Indonesia. Orangutans are found exclusively on the Indonesian islands of Borneo and Sumatra. It is a form of edible vegetable oil used in many food and non-food industries, including but not limited to, cookies, crackers, popcorn, frozen dinners, low-fat dairy, candy, soap and cosmetics.
In the Malay Language Orangutan Means "Man of the forest".
- The biggest threat to orangutans in the wild is from illegal logging of trees. The demand for palm oil is high and as a result these plantations are destroying the orangutan’s natural habitat, pushing them out of the forest or trapping them into small patches of forest with no where else to go. Many of these plantation workers are also killing and/or torturing these animals that come onto the land that was once theirs.
SUSTAINABLE YIELD palm oil is very important to the livelihood of millions of people in Indonesia. When it is produced NON-SUSTAINABLY, thousands of orangutans perish each year, due to clear cutting of rainforests and uncontrolled burns.
