Choose the right biofuel or the orang-utan gets it! Greenpeace
While biofuels could make a small contribution in the battle against climate change, it could in fact do more harm than good. If rainforests are cut down to make way to grow 'green fuels', it will not only destroy homes for animals like he orang-utans, this will also be catastrophic for the climate releasing more greenhouse gases from destroying forests than will be saved by using biofuels.

Demand is also soaring for palm oil-derived bio-fuel, despite objections from critics who slam the "green" alternative to crude oil as "deforestation diesel" because of the destruction wreaked on forests to make way for palm plantations. Stefanie McIntyre reports.

Orangutan - Nick Knowels, Borneo BBC - Saving planet earth
What genuinely surprised me in Borneo was how emotional it was to see the devastation and destruction of huge areas of rainforest. I'm not much of a tree hugger, but it seems almost sacrilegious to rip that extraordinary biodiversity up and leave what will eventually become desert. The forests are being cut down and replaced by palm trees – whose lucrative oil is used in everything from toothpaste to biscuits.
