EdibleFriendAn orangutan having a lovely stroll through his habitat.
wise_pancakeWhat am I supposed to do about this?
I don’t have an excess of money I can donate to conservation. I can email my local politician but what’s that realistically going to accomplish?
I have no power to change this, but it just makes me feel shitty.
Avoid products with palm oil. Orangutan habitat gets razed and replaced by palm oil plantations.
Palm oil gives the most yield per acre of any vegetable oil. Replacing it would actually encourage even more deforestation
But not ones which have destroyed orangutan habitat.
Deforestation is deforestation, you’re just picking one species over another.
