    That’s the most depressing thing I’ve seen all day, and I’ve been doomscrolling since I woke up.

    What am I supposed to do about this?

    I don’t have an excess of money I can donate to conservation. I can email my local politician but what’s that realistically going to accomplish?

    I have no power to change this, but it just makes me feel shitty.

      Avoid products with palm oil. Orangutan habitat gets razed and replaced by palm oil plantations.

        Palm oil gives the most yield per acre of any vegetable oil. Replacing it would actually encourage even more deforestation

      Dismantle capitalism or end resource scarcity those are really the only options.

        Far easier would be stopping the use of products made using resources that are created by this

        Commonly in this case would be palm oil

          Good luck with that, so long as profit exists fucking the planet over to benefit shareholders will as well.

              Being realistic is the first step to solving anything.

                Well when you can realistically get rid of profiting, let me know, I’ll be taking small steps to make things better in the meantime.

        Yeah we need to dismantle our entire economic system in order to prevent deforestation /s

        Downvotes incoming, proper regulation is the actual realistic solution

          Is deforestation, fossil fuels, water usage, land usage, animal cruelty.

          No need to be so myopic greed is the cause of all of these things.

          Enforcing this kind of regulation will need military intervention. The actual negotiable solution is to pay those nations to preserve the land. You can’t stop them from making money from their resources.

        Or from any of the companies that have that country’s resources in their supply chains. It’s hard for ordinary people to know what to do. Buying less stuff altogether isn’t a bad place to start though.

        Good luck not buying soap, toothpaste, or shampoo. Palm oil is used in damn near everything today since it’s the most oil/acre around today.

      You could come to Atlanta and help stop Cop City, as long as you don’t mind getting murdered or [blatantly over-]charged with terrorism for occupying a forest.

    Malaysia and Indonesia don’t give a fuck. Not like any of us can do anything about it.

    If we stop buying their goods in the West it’s all going to go to China anyway.

    Our best bet is to take their DNA and maybe years in the future we can do something. Short of protecting that land with guns this will keep going on.
