Why are there so few orangutans left
?
Oil palm plantations
In 2007, the United Nations Environment Program stated that the most significant reasons for the habitat loss of orangutans are:
- illegal logging
- fire
- oil palm plantations
oil palm plantations
habitat loss
a forest
burned down for plantations
several orangutans dead or injured
Palm oil > 10% Indonesia's export earnings
packaged foods, deodorants, shampoos, soaps, candies, and baked goods
Numbers of orangutans out there
Other factors:
- climate change
- bushmeat trade
+
- anything that would lead to loss of habitat
It is estimated that if we don't make any serious effort, orangutans will go extinct in 10 years to 20 years.
How can we prevent this from happening?
Palm oil
Bad public opinion.
Bad, evil, unhealthy for you, causes animals to die.
Actions, debates, marches, strikes.
Pressure
People displeased with the palm oil industry.
sanctions
new organizations
leaders of other countries forced to act
pressuring Indonesia's government
limitations on the industry
Do everything you can to reduce global warming.
Use less hot water
Change your lightbulbs
Recycle
Plant some trees
Turn off the light when leaving a room
Summary
Convince the public that palm oil is even worse than they thought.
