IntroductionPalm oil is considered an essential ingredient for the production of food and other human products. Orangutan Project (2015) states that “palm oil is derived from the fruit of the oil palm” and that “palm oil plantations are the main driver of deforestation in Indonesia.” Harvesting palm trees for palm oil production affects the ecosystem just as it can impact the environment. This investigation highlighted the benefits of palm fruit which provides nutrients, is essential for the production of products, and as this production allows palm oil to reduce poverty. The Downsides of How Palm Oil Production Negatively Affects the Environment, Animal Habitat, and Social ConsequencesGreenPalm (2015) states how “removing acres of rainforest threatens the rich biodiversity” in “ecosystems” . Highlighting the risks of cutting oil palms to produce palm oil for both the environment and organisms living in the areas, as some species in logging areas, mainly with palm oil exported by According to Say-No- To-Palm-Oil (2015), Indonesia and Malaysia are at risk of extinction. There are however still ways in which palm oil production can be environmentally sustainable, as palm oil is essential for use by humans due to nutrient containment and also for food production and nutrients. The positive aspects of palm oil production have been found to be that palm oil contains vitamins and is low in cholesterol, which causes lowering of cholesterol levels in humans. Palm oil is essential for making products including cosmetics and detergents. It can also provide the solution to poverty as $3,000 per hectare of yield is provided. Furthermore, the negative aspects of palm oil production were found to be that it causes destruction of rainforests due to deforestation, can cause species extinction with a 50% decrease for the orangutan population, and raises social issues with the loss of income and dependence on large plantations
