Letter: Oil palm plantations and orangutans
Mon, 01/09/2012 8:36 PM

The issues of deforestation and orangutan killings in Indonesia sparked a controversy recently. Both were linked to oil palm plantations, with some alleging that the plantations have caused deforestation and the death of orangutans in the country. The question is whether oil palm estates are really responsible for the forest destruction and the death of orangutans?

JAAN believes that no wild animal should have to live in captivity and works to help stop the illegal wildlife trade in Indonesia. JAAN fully supports Indonesia’s commitment to enforcing National Law No. 5 (1990) that prohibits the trade in protected wildlife and encourages Indonesia to enact laws that would protect all wild animals.

I was very disappointed to read that at the recent Sabah Wildlife Conservation Colloquium (SWCC), a resolution was not passed for a “No Kill” policy regarding orangutans who, usually in a desperate search for food, stray onto oil palm plantations and surrounding villages on Borneo and Sumatra.
