Over the past decade, the palm oil industry has been contributing to deforestation and the extinction of endangered species like orangutans and the Sumatran tiger. Borneo and Sumatra have been hit especially hard by this industry, and the natural wildlife in these areas is being subjected and destroyed. This is taking a toll on the environment for the whole world.
The RSPO ensures that the rights of the animals, their natural habitats, the idiginous people, and all living beings involved are protected. This organization promotes biodiversity, equality, and responsible development and production of palm oil. It is as sustainable as it can be.
