I have to agree with one of the com­menter on bio­fuel. Exam­ple, Malaysia is merg­ing as one of the lead­ing bio­fuel pro­ducer and aim to be the largest bio­fuel plant in the world.

Every diesel sold in this coun­try already has at least 5% palm oil sub­stance. While devel­op­ment on biodiesel may leave us less depen­dence on petrol but any­thing we human do will have con­se­quences to every liv­ing thing.

Cut down trees and grows palm oil trees may affect the orang­utan habi­tat but not as nasty as those ille­gal log­ging in Sarawak (big pos­si­bil­ity) and Indone­sia that left the whole areas flat­ten with noth­ing left for the orang­utan to call home.

Envi­ron­men­tal­ist should very much help­less if there’s not much of sup­port from the peo­ples and the gov­ern­ment con­cern in gen­eral. I am sure there are bet­ter way for the peo­ple in the world who love this planet and Orang­utans to hand out their sup­port though edu­ca­tion and mon­e­tary sup­port to the right channel.

In my opin­ion, this 1 min­utes 27 sec­ond video isn’t enough to get through the pub­lic and may not reflect enough fair­ness to peo­ple of Sarawak who also help to con­tain Orang­utans from extinction.
