Show transcript
Palm oil is sourced from the fruit of the oil palm tree.
An area of rainforest, nearly the size of Greater London, has been wiped out in under a decade for oil palm plantations.
Plantations are less dense and less diverse.
Oil palm plantations are associated with the loss of forest for indigenous communities, forced labour and child labour.
Experts recommend supporting certified sustainable palm oil, as it is the most land-efficient oil crop.
