Why Orangutans Are Becoming Extinct
Companies are cutting down other trees that
orangutans need to survive to grow palm oil trees.
That is why the orangutans are becoming extinct.
What is the CSPO/RSPO?
The RSPO, also known as Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil is a
group of companies that come together to help orangutans and the
environment get better. The RSPO is getting different companies to
join the “club”. When companies join that means that they are only
using sustainable palm oil in their products. Then their products get
stamped( or stickered) with the CSPO symbol (see next slide). This
“club” can also be called CSPO which stands for Certified
Sustainable Palm Oil.
This is the RSPO (Roundtable Sustainable Palm Oil) seal. You hopefully should be seeing this
seal on products that are trying to using palm oil the safe way.
What You Can Do To Help
You can help by doing a lot of things. Simple
things like spreading the word and buying
products that have the CSPO/RSPO symbol
(as shown on slide 4) can make a significant
difference to the orangutans in Borneo and
Sumatra. You can also donate to the cans that
you have in your classroom (hopefully already
in your classroom).

All Donations Are Greatly Appreciated!
If you are thinking of trying to help the poor orangutans we are going to be putting in
your classroom a can for any and all donations you might be willing to make for the
orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra. The donations will be given to the Orangutan
Foundation International which will use this money to care for orangutans that have lost
their homes. The classroom that donates the most money gets a cupcake party.
So unless someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get
better. It’s not.
