Sustainable Palm Oil Choice (also on BlueSky)

Why choose sustainable palm oil? "Sustainably produced palm oil adheres to stringent environmental standards, ensuring minimal impact on forests, wildlife, and climate while supporting the local agroecological system." Find out more: sustainablepalmoilchoice.eu/why-sustainabl… #sustainability

We often hear about the impact of oil palm on orangutans, but what about other animals? Recent research tells us more about how sunbears are affected by oil palm & what growers need to do to provides safe havens for these vulnerable animals. sustainablepalmoilchoice.eu/sun-bears-and-…

Remember that when a product is "orangutan-friendly" it is also elephant-friendly--they share habitat , and many species are impacted by palm oil. This Spring, when you buy your holiday candy, make sure to buy RSPO certified treats!

"The challenge is not only how to produce more sustainably, but also who will keep production going tomorrow – and under what social and economic conditions." - @Cirad theconversation.com/palm-oil-cocoa…

How should the #EUDR delay be used to ensure that practical reform leads to a fair and transparent system? "The EUDR holds immense potential to benefit global sustainability — but only if it evolves beyond rigid rules and overly simple measurements." theconversation.com/the-silver-lin…

Automatic, scalable, and independent of national governments, it can help understand deforestation drivers, shape effective policy measures, and track compliance with regulations like the EUDR. #Deforestation #PalmOil #Sustainability #RemoteSensing #EUDR

🛰️ Remote sensing is used to detect where deforestation happens. Can we also use it to understand what is driving it? New research maps land uses replacing tropical forests with AI trained on satellite image time series and location data. sustainablepalmoilchoice.eu/understanding-…

"CIMB Group set science-based decarbonisation targets for the palm oil sector in 2023. Maybank also has emissions targets up to 2030 for the palm oil sector which includes measures to avoid harm to forests and peatlands." eco-business.com/news/malaysia-…

The blog includes four recommendations for plantation managers: 1. Promote connectivity with disturbed or restored forests 2. Conserve tall remnant trees and plant additional tall trees 3. Protect water bodies 4. Limit frond stacking

This #WorldWildlifeDay, we share this blog based on research which examined how animal distribution in an oil palm plantation is influenced by both habitat features on the ground, and the surrounding landscape. sustainablepalmoilchoice.eu/can-we-enhance…

"Indonesia is the world’s largest palm oil producer. Alongside that growth has come a staggering number of land conflicts. NGOs have documented thousands of disputes between companies and communities over the past decade alone." sustainablepalmoilchoice.eu/why-palm-oil-c… @ward_berenschot

"Positive change can be achieved if market supply chain initiatives align with and reinforce strong public policies in tropical forest nations to ensure economic viability and competitiveness on both sides." @dnepstad1 #EUDR #deforestation news.mongabay.com/2026/02/the-co…

"China can buy more sustainable agricultural products, creating green value chains. While on the supply side, it can use and improve green finance mechanisms to invest in sustainable farming practices." @DialogueEarth_ #sustainability #PalmOil dialogue.earth/en/food/china-…

Closing the conservation data gap with real-time, community-driven monitoring. Through #KehatiKu, Borneo Futures works with nearly 500 local community members across 9 villages in Borneo to generate 70,000+ verified wildlife observations in 8 months. sustainablepalmoilchoice.eu/the-conservati…

"Only when companies, local communities, NGOs, law enforcement, and government work together, adopting a landscape approach and fulfilling their roles in safeguarding conservation values, can human-wildlife conflicts be mitigated." - @AidaGreenbury eco-business.com/opinion/compan…
