Some worry that a palm oil companyâs gift to endangered Borneo orangutans distracts from a big threat to the species: deforestation by such companies.

Excerpt:
As Borneoâs rain forests are rapidly destroyed by development, nonprofit organizations have struggled to find new habitat to relocate the rescued animals that are ready to return to the wild. The Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation called Salat [Island] a âmajor breakthroughâ in helping to save the species.
For the last decade, the foundation has eyed the island as a potential orangutan haven: fertile with fruit trees, guarded from poachers by rivers and with no indigenous orangutan population to compete with for territory. But acquiring it seemed like a pipe dream: The sums involved were immense, and getting the local governmentâs buy-in presented a major bureaucratic challenge.
Until early last year, when a major Indonesian palm oil company, PT Sawit Sumbermas Sarana, swooped in and purchased part of the island for orangutan rehabilitation. The company even agreed to pay some of the foundationâs costs for monitoring and maintaining the island.
âWe believe we could coexist,â the companyâs chief executive, Vallauthan Subraminam, said in an interview as orangutans swung past overhead after being released.
But the foundationâs partnership with a palm oil company worries some environmentalists, who are concerned that it provides a flawed company an easy cloak of respectability. The huge expansion of palm oil plantations is widely acknowledged to be a key driver of rain-forest destruction in Indonesia, which deprives the orangutans of habitat.
âIsolated acts of kindness by bad actors like PT S.S.S. donât erase that history and current pattern of destructive behavior, and they wonât save the Borneo orangutan from destruction,â said Gemma Tillack, the agribusiness campaign director at the Rainforest Action Network, an environmental organization, referring to the palm oil company by its initials. If the company was serious about protecting the species, she added, it would make a binding commitment to end deforestation on its plantations.
