oil palm tree

Between 1990 and 2010, 90% of oil palm plantations in Kalimantan were established on forested land (47% intact, 22% logged, 21% agroforests). http://www.redd-monitor.org/2012/10/10/oil-palm-plantations-replacing-forests-in-kalimantan/#more-13017

Not a single primate and very few animals can live in such a monoculture. Replacing such biodiversity with a monoculture is beyond sad.

That's terrible to hear...Palm oil is used in a lot of food and now in "green" cleaning products. Doesn't seem like "green" cleaners are very "green" if forests have to be cleared for farming of the oil.

Thanks for the photo. it's horrible what's happening. I do hope they stop destroying virgin forests in Borneo.I think concerned people are trying to address this in another forum.
