Worth the read.
Summary: palm oil is not in&of itself unsustainable. On the contrary, it's high-yielding & uses 1/9th the land of soybean oil.
The main culprit is expansionist ag practises & destruction of sensitive native environments.

❌️Don't boycott; choose sustainable-certified products instead❗️

There is a broadly accepted view amongst researchers and industry that forest conversion for palm oil contributes to species decline, including localised extinction of significant numbers of plants and animals.

"All consumers and users of palm oil can play a role, which will translate into demand for oils that meet NDPE / VDF standards. Supply-chain actors can play transformative roles by establishing such standards as de rigueur."

"Without immediate intervention, the Tapanuli orangutan faces the imminent risk of becoming the first great ape species to go extinct in modern history."
