Palm Oil

Back to 'Geographies of Interconnection'

Rang-Tan
By Greenpeace [1:30]
Description: Discover the story of Rang-Tan, a young Indonesian orangutan that has been forced out of her home by humans... Turn the sound on to hear Emma Thompson narrate the story of dirty palm oil.
Why Palm Oil Kills Orangutans – An Animated Short Story
By Pan Eco Switzerland [3:07]
Description: Every day, more and more of the rainforest is being destroyed on Sumatra – mainly for palmoil plantations! Who pays the price? The orangutans. They loose their homes and often their lives. Why? For the convenience food and products we consume. The sumatran-orangutan-conservation-programme fights to protect the apes. However, to prevent the orangutans’ extinction, we all must join this fight and avoid palm oil. Please make an informed choice : Only buy palm oil free products!
The Devastating Effects Of Palm Oil
[32:51]

Description: Palm oil has become one of the world's most ubiquitous resources - it's in our food, fuel, and cosmetics to name but a few. Yet the palm oil industry is responsible for committing environmental destruction on a massive scale in the tropical paradises of Indonesia, at the expense of local populations and wildlife. Can the developed world shake its addiction to palm oil?
