Save the Rainforest
Utilizing the grain of waste wood
The tropical rainforests that are the habitat of the endangered Sumatran rhinoceros have been converted to oil palm plantations for palm oil production, making it difficult for them to survive. Today, only about 80 Sumatran rhinoceroses remain on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Destroying the rainforest and replacing it with oil palm plantations will shrink the habitat of the Sumatran rhinoceros. It will also cause significant damage to the rainforest ecosystem. And rainforest destruction is one of the factors affecting global warming.
Oil palm plantations have eradicated large areas of forest area, leading to the extinction of many rainforest-dwelling species. Besides the Sumatran rhinoceros, the orangutan has lost about 80% of its habitat and population, and the tiger has declined to about 500 individuals. More than 100 other species living in the rainforest are in danger of extinction. To protect rainforests and ecosystems and halt global warming, food, cosmetics, and fuel companies must reduce their use of palm oil. And consumers must either not buy products made with palm oil or buy only palm oil products that have been certified through deforestation-free production processes.
