Orang-utans in danger!

Olive Oil our small contribution to helping protect Orang-utans
Recently there has been growing publicity regarding the Rainforests of Asia being cleared to make way for Palm Oil plantations. This is having a major impact on human's oldest relative, the Orang-utan and the demand for Palm Oil is predicted to rise substantially in the next 5 years.
We removed Palm Oil from our oatcake recipe 4 years ago and replaced it with the more sustainable and less saturated Olive Oil.
Although we realise that it's difficult to stop the growth of palm oil plantations, we see our switch to Olive Oil as our small contribution to helping to protect the loveable Orang-utan.
Recently we have adopted a seven year old male Bornean Orang-tan. His name is Etin and he currently lives with his mother in Eastern Sabah, Malaysia. We are also lifetime members of the Orang-utan Foundation.
