ABC News report on orangutans: The Plight of the Red Apes
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=5238877
The researchers interviewed include Lone Dröscher Nielsen and some guy from WWF. They predict extinction of the species within 10 years.
TEN YEARS.
The report mentions that deforestation in Indonesia occurs at a rate of 5,000 square miles per year, or an area the size of the state of Connecticut. The WWF blames palm oil production for most of this deforestation, stating that the Indonesian government allowed 25,000 square miles of forest to be cleared for oil palm farms. The farmers kill any orangutans they find because they consider them pests.
I buy exactly two vegan products that contain palm oil and I’m going to search diligently to find safe replacements for them. READ LABELS on absolutely everything you buy. The report states that 10 percent of all products sold in the U.S. contain palm oil. I think it’s higher.

Frightening, what about in places like Kenya where you don’t always get the list of ingredients - terrifying!
