Helpless orangutans are being killed for your sake and you probably didn’t even know it. Palm oil is a type of oil that is detracted from the palm fruit. Today, almost all palm oil is produced and exported from Malaysia and Indonesia. Palm oil is taken at very unsustainable measures causing the once beautiful rainforest to be slashed and burned each year to make way to palm oil plantations. Wild life in these areas, particularly orangutans, is being killed in this process. Many don’t know that this type of oil is used in many of our everyday foods and products. Deforestation for palm oil is causing the Sumatra and Borneo orangutans to become critically endangered.
