Palm oil that’s better for wildlife
Manage episode 365888240 series 1314884
Is it possible for palm oil plantations, wildlife and the rainforest to happily coexist?
Products containing palm oil, including soaps and cosmetics, are used by billions of people worldwide. While the industry is credited with reducing poverty in countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, it has also contributed to mass deforestation.
In Malaysian Borneo, only small pockets of pristine rainforest remain, with much of the land taken over by mile after mile of palm oil plantation. But on one plantation, an NGO called Hutan has joined forces with the palm oil growers to try and make them better for nature.
We visit the plantation to see how they're using wildlife corridors to connect the remaining islands of forest.
