Every day all the rainforest around the globe are being destroyed by human hands due to the find of Palm oil, used in food, shampoos and other objects we use daily. With every morsel of terrain, we destroy the habitat of many species of animals like the Rang-tan mentioned in the video.
The Brazilian rainforest is the most affected by this, loosing between 2000 and 2012, 360277 square kilometres of forest, but in places like Indonesia, Malaysia and DR Congo had high quantities of acres lost. Following some studios, the fact of cut down this forest imply to erase the 31% of land area on Earth just to get palm oil, without realizing that we are poisoning the Earth and poisoning us with this.
The factories which work with this product produce 1.8 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases every year, helping Global Warming and Climatic Change to set our world on fire, almost literally.
To summarize, every year we lost animals, forests and nature, and only because of our own greed. If we wish to not destroy the planet, we must change to change this.
