Frying the forest: how India’s use of palm oil is having a devastating impact on Indonesia’s rainforests, tigers and the global climate [1]

Leading Indian companies such as ITC, Britannia, Godrej and Ruchi Soya could be linked to the destruction of the Indonesian rainforest through their use of palm oil, according to investigative research released by Greenpeace. This destruction is worsening climate change and harming the habitat of endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger and the orang-utan, according to the report ‘Frying the Forest.’
