Langur in Central Borneo

The Sinar Mas Group, one of the largest companies in Indonesia, is clearcutting pristine forests in Central Borneo for expansion of oil palm plantations at an alarming rate. The consequences of land clearance for palm oil production are devastating for the wildlife in the area, including orangutans and monkeys who are dramatically threatened by the lost of their natural habitat. Some of the local land owners are being intimidating by palm oil companies for refusing to sell their land for expansion of the palm plantations.
