>> Oil Palm Threatens Indonesia's Rainforests and Orangutans

>> TAKE ACTION
>> Chinese funded development a ploy to access rainforest timbers,
>> will devastate Borneo's biodiversity and largest remaining wild
>> orangutan population
>>
>> >> Indonesia plans to cut a 2,000 kilometer long, five kilometer
>> wide swathe through one of the world's largest remaining areas
>> of pristine rainforest to create a massive oil palm plantation.
>> The project would destroy two million hectares of ancient
>> rainforest in Kalimantan, traversing almost the entire border
>> with Malaysia, and slicing through three national parks. These
>> remote rainforests on the island of Borneo are home to countless
>> species of rare birds, plants and mammals including the largest
>> remaining wild orangutan population. This Chinese-funded
>> "agricultural development" is almost certainly a thinly veiled
>> ruse to access timber. Indonesia has huge land areas of
>> abandoned, unproductive palm oil plantations and degraded forest
>> areas that would be suitable for oil palm development. Palm oil
>> plantations - which completely clear the rainforests and are
>> biologically depauperate - are the number one enemy of
>> orangutans. Orangutans need vast areas of interconnected forest
>> to survive, and this ill-conceived project would speed up their
>> extinction. Let the Indonesian President know he must cancel the
> > Kalimantan project, and that new oil palm plantations should be
>> built only in previously cleared and unused areas. Note your
> > protest emails are going to nine addresses, please inform us if
>> some start to bounce. Please take action now at
