BBC reports killing of Orang-Utans in plantations

[Peter Finke]

Parosphromenus fish don’t eat and “steal” palm-oil fruits, of course. But their habitats have largely been destroyed by the rainforest-logging. Therefore, fighting that destruction is a common duty for all lovers of south-east Asian nature.
