RE: Through the Oil Palms: Journey to La Palmera Mountain Ridge, Columbio, Sultan Kudarat

Yeah, the orangutans became the (sad) symbol of the oil palm business but destroying the original forests and unique ecosystems put many other animal and plant species in danger or even brink of extinction in those areas... Glad to know that the impact is not so devastating in your country. Yet.

I know the impact to the local wildlife is already devastating regardless of the initial state of the land. Imagine removing all the local flora and fauna just to introduce a monoculture that's not even native to the area.
