It took a lot of digging on this website to find exactly how the palm oil industry is harming orangutans.
"After palm oil plantations are established, displaced starving orangutans are frequently killed in the most brutal ways as agricultural pests when they try to obtain food in the plantation areas."
It would do a great service to their cause to come out and say this on the front page then wondering how the these orangutans are dying. It got confusing with all the logging talk and while all is bad exactly how they're being harmed is of the most concern.

Thank you for the information about the deforestation, its powerful to know exactly how they're being harmed. I was becoming frustrated wanting to learn more about orangutans plight.
