Can Oil Palm Plantations and Orangutans Coexist?

Orangutans and Intensive Palm Oil

  • Are large-scale oil palm plantations a threat to primates?
  • Large-scale, industrial oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantations are rapidly expanding in tropical forest regions to supply a growing global demand for palm oil, the world’s most popular vegetable oil. Such agro-industrial enterprises are a growing threat to primates and their habitats.
  • Are palm trees killing orangutans?
  • But a different sort of palm is leaving less and less forest to move through on Borneo and Sumatra, the Southeast Asian islands where the world’s only orangutan populations live. Forest clearing for palm oil plantations and illegal logging are driving massive deforestation. That habitat destruction is exposing wildlife to more conflict with humans.
  • Should palm oil companies tolerate orangutans?
  • Additionally, palm oil companies could be urged to tolerate the presence of orangutans if there were enough consumers willing to pay more for their products than ones from producers who do not prioritize orangutan conservation. Similar approaches have been tried in Africa, with low success because of corruption.
  • Why are orangutans dying?
  • Forest clearing for palm oil plantations and illegal logging are driving massive deforestation. That habitat destruction is exposing wildlife to more conflict with humans. Poaching for the illegal pet trade is also threatening orangutans. Despite those struggles, last year brought hope for these great apes.
