Such a sad reality when Human's destroy the land and forest which is home to the animals, to be able to survive in a life of poverty. There is obviously too many people on this planet! When all of nature is gone, Mother nature will retaliate and put a stop to the plague of human existence! We cannot survive without water, air, sunshine, oxygen. There should be a plan developed to produce palm oil but leave enough forest also, but Humans are stupid and greedy and cannot see past their nose!
Are you volunteering?
Mother nature has managed this planet since millions of years, astroids impacts, heat waves, ice age, you name it....
Wikipedia says 19 people have died in space, technically they survived this world
Space is a part of the world no ? Let's say they died elsewhere than on planet earth.
Same was done to mine coal, copper, and now rare earth metals....
In my opinion, there is no point to talk about the things that a person have very little to control, unrealistic expectation.

Same as the O & G lobby did in the US since the 70's !
Silence will always lead to nothing ever gets done to fix something. While you personally may think that a discussion here has no impact on anything beyond the personal interest of the forum members, your thinking would be wrong.
I don't think anyone but Freeport has ever claimed that Grasberg is anything other than an ecological disaster. The same goes for deforestation and farming, and coal and other mining in sensitive environments or without operational safeguards and reclamation. We've lost a lot because of such activity. Earth will survive, yes, but increasingly large parts of it are ruined for many years to come.
Palm oil's in a whole lot more than snacks. It's cheap cooking oil, fuel, goes into soap, bread, cosmetics, etc.
Only in the US? Almost everywhere including Europe, no?
