Orangutan Habitat The Danger of The plantations of palm oil

The plantations of palm oil are permanent - resulting in an irretrievable loss of habitat. To put things in perspective, global demand for palm oil will increase by 50% over the next ten years. Indonesia, the second largest producer of palm oil after Malaysia, has converted 3 million hectares of forests (which is equivalent to five times the size of Bali) in 1999 and plantations this conversion continues apace of 250000 hectares per year. We use palm oil at all to see on the label next time you buy toothpaste, peanut butter, cereals, detergents, cosmetics, crayons and candles. We can be responsible consumers and take the example of Migros, a chain of distribution of Switzerland, which became the first European distributor to the source of oil palm plantations that have not been put in place at the expense tropical forests.
