Welcome! This blog won’t be able to separate the issue of palm oil production from the issue of orangutan conservation. So I agree wholeheartedly, as you might expect, with the recent plans announced in Nature to make the orangutan the symbol of palm oil opposition.

Also check out mongabay for a great source on other environmental issues related specifically to rainforests.
One step further will be for orangutans to become the international symbol for palm-oil free products. NGOs and other interested parties are pushing for this, here’s hoping that will soon be the case.
