minus-squareDrusaslinkfedilink1•2 months agoThat would be interesting, but orangutans in particular have increasingly little land upon which they can live and it’s largely due to palm oil plantations. The situation is a bit urgent for them.
minus-square@jeffwOPlinkEnglish1•2 months agoOk. But the Amazon is being destroyed for meat? And that’s a lot of animals
minus-squareDrusaslinkfedilink0•2 months agoOkay, and? That’s just whataboutism. It doesn’t change that orangutans are endangered by palm oil plantations.
