Malaysia Revises Orangutan Adoption Plan for Palm Oil Importers
Aug 19, 2024, 09:20 AM
Malaysia has announced a revised conservation scheme allowing countries that import its palm oil to adopt orangutans, but the animals must remain in their natural habitat within Malaysia. This initiative, described by the commodities minister, is a modification of an earlier plan that considered sending orangutans abroad as gifts. The new approach aims to support orangutan conservation efforts while maintaining their presence in the Southeast Asian nation. Malaysia, the world's second-largest palm oil producer, hopes this plan will enhance its environmental diplomacy and promote sustainable practices.
