Is that Oreo Cookie More Important than an Orangutan's Life?
Palm oil is a highly desired ingredient in many foods and products, but harvesting it has lead to habitat loss for several animals including orangutans. Would be a great presentation or interactive program at a zoo or conservation center for informing the public on the consequences of using products with "palm oil" as a listed ingredient.
