It was late evening. Into the Orangutan Rescue Center on the island of Borneo rushed a rescue worker holding a tiny bundle in his arms. Inside, with a face as small as a mouse's, was a 3-month-old orangutan. Those who were there that day remember two things about their first meeting with the baby orangutan: her big bright eyes, and her left arm, half of which was missing. "Baby orangutans, who ride on their mothers' stomachs by holding onto their long hair, have incredibly strong grips. They do not let go," said the director of the Orangutan Rescue Center. "The baby's hand was chopped off, probably to separate her from her mother." Rescuers believe that the baby and her mom had been driven out of their forest home when it was destroyed to make way for a palm oil plantation. Hungry and weak, the mother was likely walking in the forest in search of food when she encountered some people working there. Luckily, the baby orangutan was rescued before more harm was done. Rescuers named the baby orangutan "Kesi," meaning "child born in difficult times." That name is fitting for many orangutans living in the wild today. A hundred years ago, about 230,000 orangutans lived on Earth. Today, fewer than 50,000 are left in the wild, living exclusively on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. These islands happen to be ground zero for one of the world's most controversial and rapidly growing industries: palm oil. The cultivation of palm oil is the biggest threat to orangutans. Although their survival gravely depends on rainforests, people have continuously destroyed rainforests to make room for the production of palm oil. Deforestation has reduced the habitat of the orangutans, which in turn has caused thousands of the animals to die. At this rate, orangutans could become extinct in less than 25 years.

So what exactly is palm oil? You may have never heard of palm oil, but you have almost certainly come into contact with it, probably multiple times every day. Palm oil is a type of vegetable oil that is derived from the palm fruit. It can be found in thousands of consumer goods, from packaged foods to hair products. Cheaper and more efficient to produce than other vegetable oils, palm oil is currently used in half of all packaged products. The consumption of palm oil has rapidly increased in the past two decades. Although the United States and Europe are its top consumers, demand is growing throughout the world. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned trans fat in foods, which will likely increase the consumption of palm oil. Though by no means healthier, palm oil is set to be the "clear alternative" for food producers, experts say. The production of palm oil is the number one cause of forest loss in Indonesia and Malaysia. If this continues, the extinction of orangutans will become a sad reality. The future of Kesi's species is in our hands.

Did you know that orangutans are one of our closest relatives? The name orangutan is derived from the Indonesian words orang meaning "person," and hutan meaning "forest." So orangutan means "person of the forest." They are so intelligent that they make umbrellas out of leaves when it rains. Unfortunately, these smart animals are getting closer to extinction. I recently read an article saying that palm oil plantations are destroying the homes of orangutans. The sad thing is that most people are not familiar with palm oil, even though it is in many products that we use on a daily basis. This might surprise you, but palm oil is used in ice cream, cookies, bread, chocolate, soap, and cleaning agents!

So what can we do to help save the orangutans? Well, you can talk to your friends and family about palm oil and the dangers orangutans are facing. You could also be an active consumer next time you visit the supermarket. Read the labels of products carefully to see if they contain palm oil, and try to avoid them if they do. There is another fun thing you can do to help orangutans: adopt an orangutan! I know it sounds impossible, but there are organizations that match you with a baby orangutan when you donate money. Don't worry! It doesn't cost a fortune to adopt one; you can start by basically donating a few cents per day. Even this small amount will help save the lives of many orangutans. Please help spread the word about the dangers of the palm oil industry and name any products containing palm oil that you know in the comments below. I really hope you will join me in protecting these "people of the forest."
