Will Orangutans exist in 2020? It's your choice.
Sustainable palm oil is in its early stages of implementation. As of now it isn't regulated, there are simply guidelines to follow. There is no legal framework surrounding the requirements of sustainable palm oil. Plantations are LYING and saying they are sustainable, but they ARE NOT. NO ONE IS ENFORCING OR REGULATING IT - IT'S AN "honor code". It will take years before sustainable palm oil has legal requirements/penalties.
Unfortunately we don't have years. IN TEN YEARS ORANGUTANS WILL BE EXTINCT. We don't have time to see if we can create and pass laws for sustainable palm oil plantations to follow.
Also, "sustainable" means that those plantations produce lower emissions. But has nothing to do with saving Orangutans from being extinct.
DON'T BUY PALM OIL. SHOW THE WORLD WE ARE EDUCATED CONSUMERS AND WON'T BE FOOLED BY THESE COMPANIES!
