Most palm oil plantations in South and Southeast Asia are created C. by clearcutting forests. The clearcutting of forests for palm oil plantations is becoming a major global issue, since it forces native plants and animals to relocate, creating mass havoc in ecosystems worldwide.
I highly recommend watching the documentary Before The Flood with Leonardo DiCaprio. Super interesting and spends a good amount of time talking about palm oil plantations.
Happy studying!
