All but one of these animals are endangered. Most are critical.
Borneo and Sumatra have amazing and diverse wildlife! There are so many more animals that live there and most of them are endangered due to a farming method called “Slash and Burn”.
Farmers clear forests by forcing fires and then using the land for palm oil plantations. It produces massive amounts of pollution that cater towards global warming and kills all that inhabits the area.
The earth has lost more than 100,000 Orangutans in the last 16 years due to the fires and loss of habitat and only 1,500 Pygmy Elephants are left as they are being poisoned and killed for being pests towards the palm oil plantation. Their home is disappearing, as are they.
Try avoiding products that use palm oil. It can be found in some everyday products like shampoo, makeup, chocolate (LIKE NUTELLA), chips, etc.
