They are destroying the planet for themselves. Life will go on in other forms.
If they are to extend their own journey here they must solve the population growth problem at some point or nothing else will matter.
@S Frazier, thank you my friend for you suggestion, but what ever the title damage has occurred and it can not be replaced by money and time
This is a joke, they (companies) want to create a "green campaign" and seen by everyone. But the public can not be fooled, they have destroyed many species and whether the sign is appropriate to shown to public ?
May I suggest that you change the Habitat description to "formerly virgin forest"?
@Ali and everyone thanks for the additional info. Sorry I'm pretty ignorant of what is going on in Borneo and palm oil. "We green the Earth" confused me in the description because I didn't know that was how they are marketing it there. I guess it should have been easy to put two and two together...but thanks for sharing. I'm glad to be more aware of the issue.
Dear all
The value of one hectare of virgin forest, can not be replaced by a million hectares of oil palm
Dear all
Previously, I worked to save orangutans in the some organizations, but I decided to quit for several reasons. It should be understood by the public is when forest is converted to oil palm, millions of value lost, including a very greatful animals, orangutans. Please contact me to find out more
I had to look up Borneo to read that it is home to one of the oldest rainforests. Based on the previous comments, I'm assuming some were deforested for the palms? If so, that is tragic!
Step 1 we must get laws to state clearly on packaging if palm oil is within.
We can't even make that happen here yet.
Yes, it is extremely sad. What we can do is not to buy products with Palm Oil in it, or at least check to see from where the palm oil is being sourced before buying the product.
AliMunthaha, this must be heart breaking for you !
Dear annrion
